waterhouse - woe to the chaser lyrics

Loading...

in just a fragile moment
without a second’s notice
i lost those i held most dear
i dreamt i once looked death in the eyes and told him, “i won’t fear you
“i don’t hear you
“cause you’re not here
“you are just the reflection of those long p-ssed”
my life is but shadow of a joyous past
i labor over peaceful thoughts but
woe to the chaser for they never last

i tried so hard to forget my past
the day my mother died was the last day i tasted gl-ss on my lips
i don’t cry anymore, i just shake my fist at the sky
and i scream, “why, why have you taken this from me?
“you’ve tainted blissful continuity
“god, my god hide not your face from me
“hide not your face from me”

and so i became the chaser of winds
my father turned out to be just another blown in
i ran and frantically swung my arms, grabbing what i could
i fashioned out of nails and glue and wood
windmills and pinwheels
but he continued on his way
and so his whisper became to me a plague
and i did anything just to keep it out

i built walls all around me
then came a sound, a silence resounding
and i knew i was alone
these days his words cut me deep to the bone
like bitter bl–dy stones
i feel a sick placid guilt
colder than the very hilt
as if somehow it’s my fault she’s dead
as if it’s always been my own voice
i hear screaming in my head

since i lost her, i’ve been all too fl-stered
at the very thought of losing another
i wonder if i’ll feel again
i once tried to mend these ripping seams
but it seems relief is reserved for the bent
i swear this h-ll was heaven-sent
death himself is all too h-ll-bent on destroying me
there’s no joy in me
i’m broken, see, relief was never an option

and the broken are left to rot
why i am loved, but i’m loved not
i’m the sinner the apostle forgot
i lost all color when the sun grew too hot
and a pale corpse took the spotlight from me
i was left to my unrighteous deeds
verily it’s been a drifter’s life for me
i’m lost, but i don’t need eyes to see

i beheld before me pillars of smoke
i took a deep breath, and i started to choke
so i turned my back to deceitful stacks
and thus began my search for fiction in fact
so i turned my eyes to see pillars of light
i stared at the sun but couldn’t rid myself of sight
so i turned my face from wrathful flames
and thus began my journey into decay

the waters dried up
the very seas turned to ash and dust
the rivers all slowly became parched
i watched the sky grow bleak and dark
and i knew all of it was ending
as my world became utterly empty
i found myself in bitter isolation
i am sorrow, i am desolation

reality is a mystery to me
imperfection, i confess, is my security
now all i hear is that intolerable quiet
no matter where i turn, i can’t escape the silence

i’ve become disenchanted with this facade i call life
i’m desperately unconvinced everything will be all right
i tell myself this elusive wind will be mine
but it evades my shaking hands every single wretched time

with bitter recollection, i’ll eat thorns all my days
i’ll walk cursed ground til i fall upon my grave
once i’ve gone so far as to forget my name
i’ll keep my eyes downcast until i forget my face
