Past The Dark
systematic
revolution
into it i lose you
systematic revolution
grinds your heart against the metal
you come to me
you hide with me
you can't stay with me
i am your lover's enemy
the lover you feed
who destroys you
but you pretend that
it's all ok cause it has to be that way
chained the floor
of your confusion
chained the bed of your illusion
you lost your light and now you dance in confusion
i try to reach you but your wall is too tall
you turn me away and say you can't love me
you can't love me
no one can love me
go away
i see the holes in your heart
and the holes in your mind
i see what happened in your last life
and in the battle time
i see the lover who controls your soul
dark and quickly
he make you see all beauty
as sickly
you chose to run from the light
cause it makes you hurt inside
and i understand
i have been there too
i have walked in the dark and it's safer to stay uncovered
it's safer to stay there where it feels like
no one can hurt you
but you're living dead
and that's no way to live
your lover has no name
no shame
no face
sucks you in
and leaves you to die
one day i pray
you'll walk away
and come back to a place
where you can believe
in something more
something to be
something to see
that there is love
but until you accept it
i can only continue to give it
from a distance
you're loved
don't forget
to see past
the darkness
that keeps you
away
it is
and always has been there
