Fear
It's all the same
Should I evolve
To tend to these sights
Said out loud then said again
If fate's so wrong
You'll start to feel lightheaded
By my admission, nothing grows
Just a longer list of unsorted laws

So why then
Has all my life made no sound
And are your eyes
Closing even now
My life made no sound
I fear your eyes closing

Revolting man
This sacred chain
Brought down to trial
No better man could fail the way
You needed all
Keep close the vein of empty
Thoughts

The finest river,
The ravens tend
All along insisting
We're worlds away

Behold the lost
Behold a Band-Aid

These shameful metaphors
Fought it through the teeth
Biting at your heels
Fought it cheek to cheek

    Yay! However much I love this song, I have had difficulty understanding the meaning... so thanks to all of the above, and as I shall find out, all of the below as well. I think what really hit me was that metaphors have multiple meanings and often insinuate something that you can't quite put your finger on, but causes a chian reaction of thought or emotion that is stirring. So, why shameful? I really still do not know, but possibly because I also always think other words more fitting for words they choose which throws me off...and I like it!
