Abeyance Lyrics - Singles - Be'lakor

As the candles yawned, 

My world grew darker 

Til barely a detail remained 

Parchment and smoke 

Through distant chimes 

Moths carried by the breeze 

Her finger to my lips, 

I am stilled in an instant 

I sip, and am numbed 

From here the path winds backwards 

At first I see my entering 

And then steps in reverse 

Descent where I had climbed 

To pass where I had fallen 

Familiar, all is skewed 

And yet I cannot reflect 

Beyond my eyelids, I have died 

Yet I collapse into youth 

Familiar, all is frayed 

And yet I cannot abide 

Beyond my eyelids, I have died 

Days are merging quickly now, 

Into years that spiral from my chest 

They pass but leave no mark 

I swallow forgotten words 

To gain what was lost 

And lose what was gained 

Until neither is real 

Behind my head, 

her hands hold no weight 

I have reached a beginning, 

But somehow I do not stop 

I fall through the first moment 

To find that there is more 

As light cascades 

Through the hole my body has torn 

Already, it is closing
