lyrics

[M]
Gaze deep, obsidian soul.
Drain your sum, your parts, your whole.
The heart’s abyss yet seeks your dive.
Though I am death, I make you alive.

[S]
Faint flicker pierces glass, calls me beyond.
Pale phantoms mimic life.
An artifice of flesh and light.

[P]
Smoke and mirrors.

[S]
This smoke rises forever.
I watch it in the reflector.
My heart, excised, vein by vessel,
Desiccated and displayed.
This is what I choose.

[A]
What will a man do when the well runs dry?
I have leapt to the bottom to dig.
Dying of thirst, I seek water from a spring
That has never once quenched.
I am the definition of insanity.
The void stares back at me.

[P]
Open up your eyes.
The truth will not be far.
Though your despairing tongue begs it depart.
The fires of your eye reduce your mind to ash.
The embers of a soul trapped inside the looking glass.
Open up your eyes, wider than the sky.
She shows you what you are.

[S]
Stay down, stay down!
[P]
Open up your eyes.
[S]
Get down, get down!
[P]
Wider than the sky.
[S]
Stay down, stay down…
[P]
Embers of a soul.
[S]
Get down, get down…
[P]
Inside the looking glass.
[S]
Slow down...slow down!

[A]
In the darkness, darkness I see; the darkness in me.
In the darkness, nothing to see.
The darkness is me.
