lyrics

Light the candle, Illuminate
How can I communicate through a vault?
Sound the alarm, the teeth have locked.

Now I have the voice of a serpent, a floating head and a bloodshot eye.
A bird without feathers in a cage of velvet,
The snake is constricted now.

This isn’t a rabbit hole it’s deeper.
more like an abyss that’s capped on one end,
and the more you dig the closer you get to the stars.
but are those stars, or just arrows pointing you to Dresden?
So sing a little bit louder,
Inspiration will keep the wolf from the door.

This isn’t a firebombing.
No, this inferno is hotter.
...more personal.
Did you ever think you could drown in an hourglass?
Time cannot freeze when it is sand.
So stand still.
In this case, inspiration leads to disintigration.

Vixen vines gently enclose the room.
Tentacles eclipse and snuff out the flame
compact existence inside a balloon
this silhouette is embracing the dark.

Light the candle, Illuminate
How can I communicate through a vault?
Sound the alarm, the teeth have locked.
These circus tombs have stolen my lungs.

They’re cutting off the air.
A concave chest can’t save you now.
