Lyrics
The cataclysm slowly rises in my poor mind's freight
Delivery delivered on a night so sealed by fate
I close my mind and close my eyes and feel the cracking sky
When birdsong falls to silence, useless
I must fly
You have every bit of reason to expect the world
You have every scintillation spinning in your pearl
But the mother of, the brother of, the family moving on away
Gleaming hope of happiness put off for another day
You have every right to leave me now and make your flight, the weather fair
My birdsong falters now and you must carry on if you're to reach the morning air
Oh you must reach out and find that which can render darkness clear
Oh fly away, oh far away, far away from here
We can blame it on external things if we choose to feel unwell
But the currents welling up inside us prove we can't ignore this hell
For I have wandered much too far away from you to reach you
And I don't have the strength to carry back my body nor beseech you
Of course it's no fault of your own, you ride upon your circumstance
And you are in my eyes an angel, a joy that leaves my world entranced
I cannot allow you now to be brought down by my foolish ways
You shall not be ruined by my nihilism's plague
I must move on and move away and attempt now to get better
But first I here show my pain to you in this silent, sorrowful letter
So I give you now the prisoners I was once among
So you won't forget me and the hell that I've never broken free from
You know that I wanna start to show them they're beat now
But I gotta keep my cool and move only to appease now
You know that I gotta start to think on my feet now
You know that there are some things that I can't defeat now
You know that I gotta find a way
Find a way, a way away
I would walk into a room of mumbling perplexity
Where only I could move those standing if I weren't to think
I would follow you into this room and give my best
I would not let you be lost forever, I swear I'd never rest
I would silence all my thoughts and I would give my all
I would push and struggle there in gloom without a call
For there I could not see nor hear but I would never fall
I'd follow you, I'd follow you, I'd be there through it all
You command me through your kindness, I cannot devolve
You allow me peace in blindness, there's no greater call
Than to fight with sheer ignorance, standing empty and tall
I would give up everything I am to catch you when you fall
You my dear are the greatest person I have ever met
I cannot contain my happiness when I am near
You my darling make my world light up when I'm by your side
I would like you to be mine, oh for the rest of time
