Diffidentia (breaching The Core) Lyrics - Pain Of Salvation

Exitus - Drifting II 

Music, lyrics and arrangements by Daniel Gildenlw 

Imago: 

(I will never submit to all the things you've said god!) 

No! 

We're breaching the core - we're breaching the core 

We're breaching the core - we're breaching... 

To taste it 

To touch it 

Cut my hand 

To crave it 

Enslave it 

Pluck my eye 

I can never submit to all the things you've said God 

If you want me dead, I'm right here God 

But fear is a funny thing God 

In that it gives you the strength to resist just about anything God 

And friend turns to enemy 

So easily 

When you defend your legacy with guilt 

And talk of blasphemy 

God 

You know 

You created a golden cage for you sheep 

A stage too wide and deep for us to even see the play 

But hey 

You know what they say about catching the bird 

But you can't make it sing? 

You lose the bird the second it loses its wings 

Just like I reckon you will lose your herd 

To choirs of "I am, I am, I am" 

And mountains and mountains of money and things! 

We're breaching the core - all breaching 

We're breaching the core - still breaching 

Animae: 

"Help me I'm starting to fade 

Save me I'm drifting away" 

Imago: 

But we can change 

We can change...? 

I said we can change! 

We can change, we can change - still breaching... 

We can change, we can change - still breaching... 

I hold it 

I'm never 

Letting go 

I settle for rash rather than risk going to slow 

I sought it 

I killed it 

But now I know 

I'm left somewhat broken but I won't let it show 

Hear me now! 

Animae: 

"Man is shattered 

I am shattered 

My shards have become shards of their own 

Pieces of pieces, impossible to put back together 

Spending their lives seeking a context they were always a part of 

And so, they leave the context 

And we shrink 

I fade 

And nothing more can be learnt or taught 

I have no choice but to leave them to their own devices 

I have come to understand one thing and one thing alone 

One little piece of understanding 

Glowing through this void of blankness and clean slates 

Like a beacon of hope 

Or just a reminder that I was always wrong: 

Searching for yourself is like looking for the house you stand in 

How could you possibly find it? 

It's everywhere 

It's all you know 

And there are no other points of reference" 

Animae: 

Help me I'm starting to fade 

Save me, I'm drifting away 

Help me, I'm dying now 

(Imago: What are these stains? They stay, stay when it rains...) 

Curtains before my final bow 

(Imago: ...burning my skin. It's burning... burning... burning my skin!) 

Drifting, just drifting away 

(Imago: Burning... Take it away, it's burning me... Burning my skin!) 

Leaving with all that's still left to say 

(Imago: Now life... now life... fails our kin!) 

I failed 

I failed 

We failed 

We failed...
