lyrics

Please accept my apology
Elegance is not for me
Still I'm searching
Always searching
Like a frightened animal
Watching like a sentinel
Eyes are open
To the broken

Falling faster
Method actor
Pure devotion
Endless ocean
Like a fortress
Eyes so torturous
Pull me under
Rolling thunder

There's a spider on my wall
Got this pain that starts so small
Sticks to me and eats me whole
Wash me clean and shelf my skull

Please refrain from sympathy
Providence is not for me
Choking, gasping
Fingers grasping
Eyes are darting all around
Friends departed underground
Aristocracy
Mediocrity

Climbing higher
Blazing fire
Pure emotion
Big explosion
Moral fiber
Sharp incisors
Always gnashing
Systems crashing

I'm the spider on your wall
Got this pain inside us all
Hold me close and keep me whole
Wash me clean and save my soul

---------------------------------------------------

I clamber to the riverside
I'm all but empty and dead inside
I hear them clearly
The river's cries
They're speaking to me
For all my lies
Hear the voices
Intertwined
The truth, it hits me
I start to cry
Om

So, so long I'll go searching for your light
So, so long I'll go bravely through the night
