"a lilac against the elements"
As the ripple in the pond
caste out by the stone
You've pillaged my existence
and left me here alone
A shrouded cloud dangles over me
playing a marionette upon his thin stings
He stands like a scarecrow upon the fork
directing me towards my destiny's crossings
She has turned my world upside-down
now a new path I must choose
The comfort of yesterday forgotten
this future is all I have left to lose
Yet in these battered hands I forge
through these arteries I craft a new course
In ashes burying my redemption
I am releasing my remorse
[Pre-Chorus]
My body dances towards a haven
weightless on a drift ever higher
Like a kite that comes crashing
I was cut by the wire
[Chorus]
For love to blossom and bloom
For a soul to not wither and die
Like a lilac against the elements
I've got to hold on and surivive
a lilac against the elements
Can you linger on my illusion
stuck in a spiral of the vertigo
The dizzy infliction
leaves me desolate on this plateau
Kiss me with the kindness
that addicts me to your heart
filled with nicotine of love
as your cancerous tar tears us apart
Linger on the love
that lasts on a brittle wing
Faster her feathered flight
I'm weary of this perceptual chasing
[Pre-Chorus]
My body dances towards a haven
weightless on a drift ever higher
Like a kite that comes crashing
I was cut by the wire
[Chorus]
For love to blossom and bloom
For a soul to not wither and die
Like a lilac against the elements
I've got to hold on and surivive
a lilac against the elements
Trickling deep into the soil
bled from the stains upon my hands
A lifeless autumn will drain into spring
illuminating fidelity in these wastelands
Dues of the past will rust
then erode away anew
In the morning I will awaken
alive and rescued
