Hungry Lights - Wither Lyrics

Imagination was crawling across the water
Across my head-cove
Afraid of what sight?
It mitigated valor, removed all courage
Canceled my progress
And left me abashed
My walls were rising
And I'd not see them
Until my shadow was three times my size

O' how would I get back unscathed
And unbroken?
Unsure
And now, in this moment of paralled focus
We'd hold this trade
Deep in the crux of the ocean, she had awoken
Behold all her wonder!
I cast, did my lie

O' would she ever bite to taste the lure?
A shaky hand in place for the reel and turn

What my reflection turned
Into denies all of truth and burns
My soul? trapped by mirrors of fire!
The flames emanate the lie
And the way was shut

O' I am festering in misery!
Inner-strength's begun to wither
The path I walk's been overgrown
With vines and thorns
Crushing all that grew
And strangling my truth
Til' I am barely breathing
I've been doomed
Then lightning struck my brow
Raining daggers cut me down
But I did not let go
I never would let go!

It cracked the sky
I could not, would not, should not be a hero
At sudden, breaching from the clouds
Another burst of brilliance
And in the crashing down
It split my vessel, overturned
And holding onto
What was left had kept my faith secured
My god had shown his hand!

And the knives of rain came down
And the waves would lurch and swell
And any who crossed
My way would think me all but sane

I cast again and watched
It glissade through my fingers
Like caterpillars, tremoring outside
The comfort of their chrysalis
Such metamorphosis took place here tonight
