Retrouvaille 08:11
He’s reaping all that he has sown And only thistles do the harvest bring She keeps his head to the ground And her boot to his neck And inside him she is his everything No alliance beside them No freedom divides them When the seed upon the pastures was grown And the sun never rises wherever he’ll go Cause the moon in the sky is all he knows He vowed to be forever true to her Yet her eyes could not be tamed When the dagger came down In the gutter lay the scraps Burdened him with blame A song couldn’t keep her Few disbelieved her When the masses would turn against him fast And through all the spite we reached out our hands But never would they feel his grasp Until one day they meet again A soul in decay and a false love betrayed And there he could trace The ugly stories on her face She’d been hung like a wet tattered rag She couldn’t just ignore him Fell to her knees before him And she split herself open and revealed her shame And in his pity the cage opened wide Got down and put his head to the ground again He’s reaping all that he has sown And only thistles do the harvest bring

Under street lights wand'ring In the weird part of this city Shelter for the con-man, ruffian, and thief Get out of the car, I hear You’d expect a terrified shriek, yet silence Something about this disturbs me Yet I feel I should seek the arcane Never thought I would find myself here at this hour At the place where our secrets remain They want to go home They’re naked and alone They’re hidden right among us as we carry on And we cannot see the warning signs hanging high Room 209, last door on your right She’ll be waiting for you there Down the hallway with the smell of powdered death in the air In the pale neon glow a phantom beckons me Her pose says come hither but her eyes say save me please The marks of a struggle can be seen through the haze And the plea for her life in her gaze Just over three months she’s been put away Stolen from her routine, out of sight In a moment's notice, a motive drove us We’ll recede into the night Come with me my darling, move your brittle bones We’ll break out of this prison, and take you to your home Quick before they find us, stumbling in the rain God knows if we ever see the light of day again

A slithering creature emerges from the deep Paranoid shelter surrounds the world while it sleeps You’ve got your shit together, you’re not scared You’re not scared, are you?

Keep your voice down, keep your voice down So the gods won’t hear us Keep your voice down, keep your voice down Trouble with this place today Curtains drawn in, lighting goes dim While we wait and listen What would life be, what would life be If they all just walked away What will become of me? I feel you pulling me Asunder, oh I wonder, for the future, they can’t hear you, can they feel you? Who will take my hand? Keep your voice down, keep your voice down So the gods won’t hear us Keep your voice down, keep your voice down Trouble with this place today Screaming and shouting, screaming and shouting There they go again now Helpless and thin, pale is the skin Can you feel their world decay? Three sides to every story Sound waves pushing me away from you Drywall bringing me closer Closer How much of me Can be separated From me Before I am no longer made In your image
