Brilliance Of Shadow
by: MainlineAwake, no way
a plague split my face
no answers, and breathless
i felt it incoming into me
Out of my way weather gets darker
to anything clear
no shelter (no) gladful (no)
place to call help back to you
Dead imploding when my dreams get over
perception, and bleeding wings are
throwing down those bodies you once
controld
Crawl, sex appease slowly
crawl, let it fill up
crawl, sex appease down things
crawl, let them feel out
Out of my way weather gets darker
to anything clear
no shelter (no) gladful (no)
place to call help back to you
You bring my loves evading
from imperfection and setting on fire
You bring my loves to hate
descerning into me me and feeling sane
You bring my loves enacted
with a connection of the eye(s)
Weakless bounds and words inflames
while our gods paint the sky
'nd facing out control, my skin gets dirty anyway
Crawl, sex appease slowly
crawl, let it fill up
crawl, sex appease down things
crawl, let them feel out
You bring my loves evading
from imperfection and setting on fire
You bring my loves to hate
descerning into me and feeling sane
You bring my loves enacted
with a connection of the eye(s)
see through fading
see through a connection of the eye
stand by me, i live.
Blame
should let creep that noise
