lyrics

Each day is a little life
Every waking and rising a brief birth
Every new sun a quick youth
Every going to rest a short death

You'll puzzle the thoughts you know
Hastening to the reminders of old tales' fright
So dense, your iridial bore
It's not for nothing you're looking to loosen your chains

This shroud is only for your others
Foam clouds to blind the azure
While your mind sails barren
Clear in direction, but without wind

Nothing shimmers in a nightfall shade
Neither stupor nor declination a slow ebb
Not a new moon a quiet old age
No animation sprung in dishonesty

Come, stay by the hearth
Linger, don't let your own hellion be
Perched up is the sore in your eye
Leave the shackles to char in this place

A hidden winding temple
Wistful velvet eyeshot
Caved in collar, coma airing
Zephyr lunging to get home

To get home
To leave flown
Winged dome
Mind is stoned
Eyes cloned
Forced alone
Stuck with your bones

No shroud is solely for you
The steam veils are translucent enough to see
The ripples that would come crashing down
Unbound subjugation of the mind

Come, come, stay by the hearth
Linger, linger, don't let your own hellion be

To get home, and to leave flown
Winged dome, and a mind stoned
Eyes cloned, forced to be alone
Elude your iridial bore
