[Verse 1]

Try, seeker, try

To find this path of mine

I weave a simple line

Take care to watch my flight


[Chorus]

Place your fingers here to guide me

Guide me under


[Verse 2]

One must lead the other

See, the way I bring

Can change easily

The end knows those who come

But each can run away with us


[Chorus]

Place your fingers here to guide me

Guide me under


[Verse 3]

One must lead the other

Walk here softly through this door, or never

Follow me into my sanctum, oh, oh

There are no words, so watch as I

Strip away layers, I strive to find paces

I reel from each image, a product of loss

Bearing away my wholeness

Fooled by my own hands

Offer a useless notion to satisfy demands


[Verse 4]

Paint me again so deeply

Illusions from within

Make me a tragic canvas

For the dye inside my skin

Sorry, you never asked me

Sorry, you never tried

Grief you hold so shallow will pass away in time


[Bridge]

Shards of my identity

Scattered here upon the ground

With fragments of a tragedy

Dig in coarse to bring me down

I'm kneeling in my agony

Reaching in to pick them out

I'm holding on so desperately

'Til they cut inside and drown

In this prison of my misery

In the vessel of my doubt

In the court of endless suffering

In the hall where I am bound

To these servants of a history

As they circle all around

They stand in their delight

I lay my hands upon these wounds

And cry in empty ridicule

Broken words and hollow truths

I've crept inside a sorrowful embrace

Cruel embrace


[Outro]

Await my claim

So stay away

So stay away

Away

Away

Away

Away

Away

Away
