Erised

There's a vessel and it's sinking at sea
An apparition that's beckoning me
As the cold dark night brings on the sweat
I slowly drift away

Stuck down in the bottom of your cylindrical state of mind
What are we running from?
There's a distant sound of a melody
Release me from this place

A life to live, a sedative under the skin
Bury it, carry the cure
Just let emotion set devotion within your heart to collect the death we sow

Step out from the moonlight like it's a game we play
The checkerboard is tainted, drops of red will lead the way
Black are the lies
Gold are the tongues of the glorified
Command her seas of the blood in me

Stuck down in the bottom of your cylindrical state of mind
What are we running from?
There's a distant sound of a melody
Release me from this place

A life to live, a sedative under the skin
Bury it, carry the cure
Just let emotion set devotion within your heart to collect the death we sow
A life to live, a sedative
A life to live, a sedative under the skin
Just let emotion set devotion within your heart to collect the death we sow

Collecting sanity, simply ready for the life that waits surely
There's a distant sound of a melody and I won't leave this place
