lyrics

A somber autumn’s slumber just to fade my fears to rest
Worries never falter, I can only lull myself
I cannot escape this shadow’s fee
The counterfeit calliope cultivating time
Fall into catch twenty-two and topple down this rhyme
I can eat my words and I’ll be free

When I’m left to my own devices
I succumb to my oldest vices
Swimming in this sea of ice

An onomatopoeia to express my state of mind
All the vowels violate and fight their way outside
Why can’t I just find the words to say?
The consonants have crumbled and I can’t escape the crash
Carnage in the castle, now I’m sifting through the ash
Haunted by the thoughts I’ve put away

When I’m left to my own devices
I succumb to my oldest vices
Swimming in this sea of ice
