I smell the shit and piss I swear I found my equal A gutter philosopher He's not clean, He's from the streets But his words are holy to me
He narrates his life as a silhouette He's legendary, A martyr for despair and tragedy Yet post-traumatic he shares with me Sleep and surrender The bandage of past resides in my dreams My blood is oil, fossilized, poisoned and perfect black
Release me to the night In the darkness I'm behind the light Transparent flight As you see (I'm fading) That I've begun to fade A shadow I remain
Were mortal in humanity Immortal after being
Does the burden of life proceed? (After I'm dead) Or do we lie peaceful as we enter sleep? He's falling over screaming at me
Choke you pretender Your spitting out phrases of fallacy Love is lie, paralyzed, by your reflection of staring back
Release me to the night In the darkness I'm behind the light Transparent flight As you see (I'm fading) That I've begun to fade A shadow I remain
Young man learn to trust your drink It only costs a fraction of the price You pay to get her under sheets Young man it's better to have never loved Then find the one whom Will cast you into the shadows Learning how to live your life as a silhouette
Were mortal in humanity Immortal after being
Oh, It's just the price you pay Oh, Just take the hint from me Oh, if this goes another year Oh, just say fuck the world you lost your girl
Release me to the night In the darkness I'm behind the light Transparent flight As you see (I'm fading) That I've begun to fade A shadow I remain
