DiffidentiaTo crave it - to want it - cut my handsTo want it - to need it - pluck my eyes I can never submit to all the things you've said God - if you want me dead, I'm right here god. But fear is a funny thing, in that i gives you the strength to resist just about anything God! And friend turns to enemy so easily when you defend your legacy with guilt and talk of blasphemy. God - you know; you created a golden cage for your sheep; a stage too wide and deep for us to even see the play. But hey, you know what they say about catching the bird, but you can't make it sing? You lose the bird the second it loses its wings, just like I reckon you will lose your herd to choirs of "I am, I am!" and mountains and mountains of money and things! I can change, I can change... I can change, I can change... (Animae:) "Save me I'm drifting away Save me I'm drifting away" (Imago:) But I can change - we can change I said we can change! We can change, We can change I can change, I can change I hold it, I'm never letting go I sought it - I killed it - but now I know Hear me now! (Animae:) "Man is shattered - I am shattered! My shards have become shards of their own; pieces of pieces, impossible to put back together, they leave me, they do nothing more than spending their lives seeking a context they were already part of, until there is no alternative. And they leave the context, and I shrink, I fade, and nothing more can be learnt or taught. I must leave them to themselves. I understand one thing though: Searching yourself is like looking for the house you stand in; you will not find it, it's everywhere, it's all you know and there are no other points of reference. Save me Im' drifting away What are these stains? What are these stains? Save me 'm drifting away They stay when it rains ...when it rains Save me I'm drifting away Burning my skin Save me Im' drifting away Save me I'm drifting away Save me I'm drifting away We failed... We failed... We failed... We failed..." |
