elision – insight lyrics
where do i begin?
how could i start?
how could i tell you all i know
when all that’s left to look at
is a soul in a state of tatters and woe?
we weren’t always here
we started with so much dignity
it’s long lost
from the start when we were young
we sensed but never dared to find
what lies within
so stand alone
stand free from the eyes of your own
what’s the point in dignity anyway
when you’ve just shed your second skin?
this is not me giving in
i will not default to sufferance
this is my tale i’ll tell
in hopes, you never feel how i felt
i look around as the crowd falls from beneath me
many mirrors are facing each other
echoing echoes
an obscurant stands in the middle
and at once i see the problem
purposeless murmurs and
mindless whispers
nothing changed
all the same
all remains
don’t they know that nothing great could ever come
from such a lack of care?
and as a whole, we think of nothing
the hive sees no mechanism for change
yet as one we can go far beyond the public’s state of mind
one thought can change it all
insight could break our fall
senseless affinity
driven to their thought by nothing
but the spirit we thought was dead
so long ago
take a step back
tell me all you see
does it make you smile?
or does it bring you down to your f-cking knees?
