(Gaze Upon) The Looking Glass

Tug of war
Verity or lies
Synchronicity or grand design?
(Gaze upon) the looking glass

Distressed and spiritless, craving something more
We carve our sins into our flesh and enjoy the scars
One might think a tortured face would make it obvious
Truth hides somewhere in the lies binding all of us

Escape, cheap wanderer
Go forth and seek for your reason
Oh, ally in the void
Guide me through your dreamscape
Your disposition lends no credence at all

A tug of war
Hemispheres dissolved
Fervor and hubris
(Gaze upon) the looking glass

Distressed and spiritless, craving something more
We carve our sins into our flesh and enjoy the scars
One might think a tortured face would make it obvious
Truth hides somewhere in the lies binding all of us
Boundless and infinite, shuffle off this coil
Transcendent pilgrimage, freed from turmoil

Praying for a long night to come
Life, what is your purpose?
Clinging to a thin thread of hope
As if we have a purpose at all

Buried deep
From my remains sprout forth the roots of a tree
Boring through stony earth
My life now for giving you the air that you breathe
Yes, you can breathe in from me
And our forces will be forever entwined

Tug of war
Garden of Eden
Paradise, forbidden fruit
(Gaze upon) the looking glass

Distressed, paradoxically flawed
Spiritless, yearning significance
Disillusioned, the words etched in stone
Speak to me
My Lady of Medjugorje

Tug of war
Animus and warmth
The jury of peers
Sentenced to death

Distressed and spiritless, craving something more
We carve our sins into our flesh and enjoy the scars
One might think a tortured face would make it obvious
Truth hides somewhere in the lies binding all of us
Boundless and infinite, shuffle off this coil
Transcendent pilgrimage, freed from turmoil
Freed from tomorrow

Waiting for the dawn light to come
Gazing into the distance
Clinging to a thin thread of hope
That we do have a purpose

Buried deep
Bound in a bio-husk
From my remains sprout the roots of a tree
Boring through stony earth
My life now for giving you the air that you breathe
Yes, you can breathe in from me
Our forces will be forever entwined
