Labyrinthine

(album: Heavener - 2023)

Glowing to lead astray
The ones too blinded by the false light
Gilded over the edge of dead memories
The void's way of calling you over the edge
To live in a moment lost to time

Before I fade, you won't take away
The strength and the meaning behind words I say
Before I fade, I felt awakened shame
I'm torn and I swore I could force you to leave

How tragic the truth
That it steals all that's in front of you
Empty and ashamed

Even knowing love, I would stray
No matter the bond between
Swallowed by the overgrowth

Even unto their last breath
As the final fade away
The trees part and clear
Like we were never lost at all

Before I fade, you won't take away
The strength and the meaning behind words I say
Before I fade, I felt awakened shame
I'm torn and I swore I could force you to leave

As I fell through a space in a haven of trees
So crowded by echoes, obscuring this plane
There is no sight to find myself
Dishonest and broken, I'm wandering afraid

Now in this meadow of acceptance
I feel the earth beneath me
When I look in your eyes
Unconditional
Inseparable
