Caught in the loop and around again.
Come up for air, then it's down again,
Drowning again.
I see his mind, it's spinning, revolver.
Metallic light of a betrayed lover.
He only hears the voices that call him.
Shutters out any other before him.
A vacant stare and a shadow figure.
He does not notice his hand on the trigger.
Watch a bullet bend through the barrel
And a shell to the floor.
Illusion...
Sunflower dresses and brunette tresses,
My love.
What use is the earth when
Our place is so clearly up above?
You took my hand and melted away
My apprehension.
But when I saw you that night, I realized
You were just my invention.
But it was alright, I was lost inside myself.
Kept you there behind the veil
Where we could hide,
And the song was the only thing left behind.
I thought you could see me,
I thought you were a true friend.
But you asked for my trust and then for my eyes,
And I should've known then
That anger, that power, that lust
Drove your every word.
But I was stripped bare so I listened and twisted
Everything that I heard.
But it was alright, I was locked inside that cell.
Because you said it with your life
Everything I was trying to articulate,
It leaves no room for debate
So I'll go with you.
Because we built this place
Where right now the Human Beings
Are singing out,
It leaves no room for doubt so it must be true.
Because we made a vow
To eradicate from the world this misery,
Rather than wait for eternity
We'll follow through.
Caught in the loop and around again.
