liber novus

I miss the good ol' days when I didn't see
Eyes like mirrors reflecting back at me
I had no role to play, no ponies in this race
When did the innocence get taken from the chase
My hair was wild, my skin was tan
Arbitrated beauty had no upper hand
I had songs to sing and reasons to be free
I knew every word but cared not what they mean
If a rose could smell as sweet
Why do I crumble under semantic defeat
Onto these lines and circles, I do cling
The differences are not always as they seem

Liber novus, liber null
Emptiness it keeps me full
Liber novus, liber null
At home in the liminal

A pain so deep not even perfection could cure
Counting sheep, wish I was anyone but her
I'm not as pretty, I'm not as pure
As what my mind expects that you'd want in a girl
In an empty courthouse, I argue every case
Mythicised trials, trying to save my wanton face
But it's no time to object, our shadows bring us depth
All the danger lies in what I'm fighting to protect
Shame is a souvenir from the days of self-betrayal
Why do you let your dogmas become your holy grail
I want to be naive, don't need no reason to be free
Life is hard, take it easy

Liber novus, liber null
Emptiness it keeps me full
Liber novus, liber null
At home in the liminal

Emptiness it keeps me full
At home in the liminal
