The Witch’s Heart - Catharsis

(He survived but his destiny burned off in the blast

Disillusion tore off his wings, and when he stepped outside

Into childhood’s end, and the moon was so bright

It looked like a white hole punched through the cape of night

But from that moment forth a moon was just a moon and a star was just a star

And nothing more…

And the morning came, and the sun did rise

But he was trapped in the corridors where it spent the night

And he could not, or he would not hear our cries--)

So take everything, break everything, fake everything, fuck everything

It’s all nothing if you want, but that’s not what I want

I’d give anything to see you feel again once more

Stand alone

Beside you

Listening for a sign of life inside you

Suffering some gift of God

Pursuing, haunting you

Yes, life is sour when you hit the ground

Moments wasted, love gone foul

However sweet the fruit, the prickly skin, the bitter core

And nausea for dessert

So take everything, break everything, fake everything, fuck everything

When you’ve been broken, you’ve been brought low

You want to smash everything, those who still care most of all

And I see the witches burning in your eyes

But they’re not the ones who sold you these lies

We’re not the ones who bound your hands and turned the spears in your side

So take everything, break everything, fake everything, fuck everything

Heart as black as sun

One the day that will come when it never rises again

And where do you go when you’ve lost your way?

Inside, and everywhere you turn it’s the same

Where do you go when there’s no where to go?

You froze in your tracks, something broke and you

Gave up

And it makes me want to cry

An ocean of tears to flow through these filthy streets

Stained with so many years

Of smothered hopes and desired denied

The faceless masses, paralyzed

To drown all we are, all we’ve ever been

Better cease to exist, than endure like this

And set you free

You and all your kind

To be free in death, if not in life

But the rest is secrets, silence now

If night has fallen, sleep well

The rest is silence, secrets now

If night has fallen, sleep well

Sleep well.
