The Lake South

歌詞

Everything you'd live and die for Reasons leading you through here Perished matriarchal bonds Failing innocence of love When the world beckons your approach It swallows you whole You'll believe what you're led to believe In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible Wait to see what you're meant to see The veil lifts when you expose your soul Pray'd I would leave this place someday Joined to alarm from long ago now unconcerned Euphorically floating upon wax wings where is the sun? I still see her face; her beauty, her grace Transfixed like a light in front of me It follows my soul And swallows me whole You'll believe what you're led to believe In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible Wait to see what you're meant to see The veil lifts when you expose your soul Left, right, left, right... His branches reached so far before His leaves were bold extremities with great control Wasted along; he died alone You'll believe what you're led to believe In the hands of ghosts we're never responsible Wait to see what you're meant to see The veil lifts when you expose your soul She's inanimate, bloodless elegance Fatal fascination breeds a bloom of misery Helpless hiding tongues, bathed in revulsion Here lies possibility wilting premature But the right hand hates the left and the sea's upset with the sky So we press on in spite of the spite Happiness is a knife when the worlds on its side and your minds on fire Don't you know that happiness is a knife when the worlds on its side Trying to find the trouble with the trouble I've found Begging my god to make the wheels go round Eat so much but I never get full Earth opened up and swallowed us whole
