Lead Astray -

You tore yourself away from me without a word

But, can I find you in this place?

I’ve walked a thousand footsteps

Still no sign of changing ‘scapes

You were the apple of my eye, but, i’ll never learn

Can I find you?

Or am I trapped inside without a way out?

The soles upon my feet begin to burn

Am I forced to walk alone forever?

The sky of smog and pools of blood

Cool not the pavement of ash I walk upon this day

Ten thousand naked bodies;

I’ve seen buried in the ash

Am I just fodder for the laments of this place?

Or am I to tear apart this earth and find your heart out?

This is the apotheosis of despair

Please let there be some voice to guide me out of here

You’re here alone with my by your side

(But, who are you?)

I’m here to see your fantasies through

(Please help me find—the one…)

Come along with me and we’ll dance through the night

(I've died…)

You’ve come so far, let me do you right

(…can't lose sight.)

Just when you think you’ve had your fill…

(But this—feels better than my fight.)

…They'll come alive

You were the apple of my eye, but I’ll never learn

Please let me rest;

slip away and find some comfort here

The fabric of their flesh feels sensual

My thoughts do fray into fragments in the void
