lyrics

My desired eloquence is driven by atmosphere
Anxious to round a square
And a fiend for all at once, a timid galiance I hold
But still I’m never there

I’ve been striking fires but I never seemed to like them
A reservoir that cracks and starts the flood
Ritualize the act I only wish that I could

As the conflict deepens I’m a fool for all I see
Guarded locked and I’m trapped, I no longer seem to need
All I want is to open, bleed as freely as the sea
But I’m haunted by all, loved and free I’ll never be

Unadulterated dreams, I’m a fool to think I’m whole
Ever lurking around my soul
Engulfed in the violent void I’ve got a gorgeous tragedy
All I want but unable to be

The lights are out but the desperate fuse is lost now
Abstracted by my loneliness to cling
Ideals pulled by the thoughts I wished that I’d sing

As the divide creeps in, I’m in love with all I see
Guarded locked and I’m trapped, I can never find the key
All I need is to frequent, thunder seems to stop the bleed
But I’m still haunted by all, loved and free I’ll always be
