Lucas Benoit - The Elegy Lyrics

I was afraid to be happy I was afraid you would be hurt
Was I the lesser of two evils was I the best of the worst
I sought you out in a garden you drank my love from a glass
While a cold queen lorded over playing croquet with our laughs
She says she said she slithers like a snake so I cut the living life from her heart lord I tore the profits from our souls dear I guess that's just all we could afford
I would fall deep into a sleep you would climb out to a stranger
I would lose my mind over illusions I never knew hope was such a danger
I plucked flowers over from the root scratching the pulp from a sore
We killed our cub in a stampede who knew death was such a chore
We found some kind of light in this darkness hallucinating life as some kind of game
All the money sex drugs we called it and all our scars were our fame
I am but a whisper you are a dream I am waking up I am waking up from this sleep
I am brave enough to wither you are weak enough to care
Are we alive enough to say so are we blind enough to stare
I clutch your hand now with a squeeze you kneel behind a wall of flowers
Some genie holds away your love oh how I wish for his powers
And I say now it's not in my words nor the profit that I gain
I see our hearts now as a garden and the love we shared was rain
I am a whisper you are a dream and I am waking up I am waking up to scream
I am whisper you are a dream I am waking up I am waking up from this sleep
