I see you
(Prepared for the next quest to the unknown)
.
I see you
(See you)
I see you
(See you)
(See you)
Know well what you’ve been through
(Know well what you’ve been through)
That life has been unkind
The pain to which you’ve been resigned
The thoughts that stew
(See you)
(See you)
(See you)
Aware that there are times when it appears you’re on your own
(See you)
When no one person cares enough to show
(See you)
(See you)
I know because I’ve been there
Barely had the strength to leave there
And to be fair
I was better off alone
.
Only I could break the code
Run in safe mode
Power down
Re-engage the slave nodes
Long since railroaded
Southward bound
.
Only I could break the code
Run in safe mode
Power down
Re-engage the slave nodes
Long since railroaded
Southward bound
.
Screams rang true when sounded out
While demons knew I’d found them out
Their narrowed views
My shadowed doubt
Were fused and duly cancelled out
Truly I could empathise
With every cry I memorised
The dry eyes life desensitised
Refilled and spilled exemplifying
Will to see their stems arise
Revealing petals sensualised
Feelings compartmentalised
Sincerely kept
Thence testified
My great desire to death defy
No space or time for best of fives
Best of fives
Best of fives
Best of fives
Fives
(Thrive)
Too much at stake
Contested by the flames of pains intensified
(Intensified)
(Intensified)
(Intensified)
(Intensify)
To entertain an end
In no way specified as meant for me
From Hell
Had made it back again
Eventually
.
I see you
(See you)
And respectfully request
You do the same
(I see you)
(See you)
(See you)
Know well you’ve been tested
To the nth degree by fate
Yet destiny my friend
No less awaits
.
Aware that there are days when it appears you’re off the pace
I know because I’ve been there
Out of sight and mind and range
To be fair
I fared better left alone
To find my centre
Prepare for my next quest to the unknown
This time stood aside my pride
With lionheart exemplifying
Will to see each treasure guided home
(I see you)
And the irony
We’re never quite alone
The irony
We’re never quite alone
.
I see you
(See you)
I see you
(See you)
(See you)
Know well what you’ve been through
(Been through)
That life has been unkind
The pain to which you’ve been resigned
The thoughts that stew
(See you)
(See you)
(See you)
(See you)
.
Only we can break the code
Run in safe mode
Power down
Re-engage the slave nodes
Long since railroaded
Southward bound
.
Only we can break the code
Run in safe mode
Power down
Re-engage the slave nodes
Long since railroaded
Southward bound
.
Screams ring true when sounded out
While demons blue are crowded out
Their narrowed views
Our shadowed doubt
Are fused and duly cancelled out
Truly we can empathise
With every cry we memorise
The dry eyes life desensitises
Overspill exemplifying
Will to see our stems arise
Revealing petals sensualised
Feelings compartmentalised
Sincerely kept
Thence testified
Our great desire to death defy
No space or time for best of fives
Too much at stake
Contested by the flames of pains intensified
(Intensified)
(Intensified)
(Intensified)
(Intensified)
(Intensified)
(Intensified)
(Intensified)
(Intensify)
To entertain an end
In no way specified as meant to be
From Hell
We make it back again
Eventually
(See you)
From Hell
We make it back again
Eventually
