A conflicted mind
What trouble will you find?
Twisting my limbs
Puppet on a string
There's dust in my lungs from the road I came from
Cough like a spark, quick to burn and go dark
My anger's a knife from my internal strife
Pulling at my ribs, a shell empty within
I refuse to bargain, to find the door in time
A thread of a life that used to be mine
Need to anchor my soul, my body's growing old
In the plane I once roamed, my glory's gone cold
If you decide to take it
Maybe one day you'll make it out
If you decide to take it
Maybe you won't have to fake it now
Twisted like intestines, it's all I've ever known
It's in my blood stream, I feel the ebb and flow
Ode to the aeons, they see more than we know
Oh can you hear them?
They're begging for me to come home
Nothing burns like it used to
Looking at an empty space
A vessel in which to travel
But cemented in the same place
Is that my reflection?
Don't recognise my own face
A shell of a person
Who they'll try to replace
It's an ode to the aeons, to what they symbolise
Try to peel my skin back and I'll try to synchronise
Cause my anger is a weapon and I dare you to threaten
This room cast in cresson, the cardinal seven
I'll harpoon my soul out of my body
Use my knife and kill every copy
Take my fist and break all the clocks
Cloister walls will take the shots
I'll say "hello" to Mr Aeons
Defeat all his legions
And when there's nothing left
Well, I'll be sure to give him my best
If you decide to take it
Maybe one day you'll make it out
If you decide to take it
Maybe you won't have to fake it now
Twisted like intestines, it's all I've ever known
It's in my blood stream, I feel the ebb and flow
Ode to the aeons, they see more than we know
Oh can you hear them?
They're begging for me to come home
"Come home"
"Come home" (Come home)
"Come home"
"Come home" (Come home)
They wanna keep me away
They wanna keep me at bay
They wanna keep me away
They wanna keep me at bay
They wanna keep me away
They wanna keep me at bay
They wanna keep me away
They wanna keep me at-
