Echoes in the Caves of Me

from Nemesis by A Flower in Disguise

/

lyrics

Imagine a heart with needles up its spine
Two bodies intertwined pouring blood and wine
A sky with split seams symbolizing our broken dreams
Jumping with broken wings
The disenchanted ones

You can’t charm rivers
The echoes in the cave in me
Screams vibrate in me
Murmurs drove under my fingernails
Whispers still turn in me

My heart held hostage to the day and night
Disillusioned by love’s exquisite freedoms
I built myself up and locked myself away
This suffering is ethereal
And I’m underwhelmed by your delights

But there’s an urgent whispering
Like a feather tracing over my skin
Over and over again
I sculpted you with my eyes
I feed you only fright
I see you in my eyes
This emotion wraps me in prayer

Pictures so rich, warm and thick
Maudlin chasm composed of a million wings
Birthed a butterfly with steel wings
Burdened by the taste of endless daydreams
Squeaking helium, beast crawl from my lungs
To your hands I come breaking wishbones
Give me this love alone

You can’t charm rivers
The echoes in the cave in me
Screams vibrate in me
Murmurs drove under my fingernails
Whispers still turn in me

My heart held hostage to the day and night
Disillusioned by love’s exquisite freedoms
I built myself up and locked myself away
This suffering is ethereal
And I’m underwhelmed by your delights

The bats ate the butterflies
That flocked to moisture of my bones
I’ve made it this far only to fear a dreams clarity
My head thick with sentiment
The thrill of the fight gone
Exhausted I am hooked working my brain to liquid
We escape in one another without greeting
Drink me up with your drunk eyes tell me who is speaking now
Tell me who you see, the mirror can’t be empty

But there’s an urgent whispering
Like a feather tracing over my skin
Show me what I long for
