Companion Pt. 1: Narrative Lyrics - Singles - Eidola

There was something inside 

derived while staying in sight 

despite the always growing cold, something untold, few get to hear 

but this man had an ear 

heart and eyes to see 

stuck to the path, worked hard to keep his positivity 

as a rose will have its thorns 

a life with beauty so adorned 

still often stung 

and would become 

something that he could accept 

except the one I knew so well 

familiarized himself in hell 

his nights submerged in red lights 

spent trying to recall himself 

But he couldn't find himself 

and he can't shut it out 

Nothing restores his peace, his only comfort is the steady panting of a beast 

questioning, in his confusion he rejects his faith for fear of all illusions 

tells himself he can make it through the night so long as he keeps it from his mind 

away from love that he once believed, only then it begins to bare its teeth 

can't move his feet forward, towards joy, 

looking for words to drown out the noise 

but all he hears now is the barking that he can't shut out 

Cant shut it out 

it never leaves 

it never leaves me 

it never leaves 

Can't find the strength to fight it off 

day and night it resides faithfully at his side 

one voice could place his heart at ease, but he'll never know that relief 

seeing what's in the way from you he sings 

will this ever fucking leave me
