Melpomene Lyrics
Cold had I calloused
Walls were raised to bear the weight I'd not take
Too slow were my senses
Muted musings lost their way; disconnected
Only silence remained, holding my breath in the dark
Gasping for air with the lungs of a lark
So warm was your welcome; humble in its embrace
Tell me, just how did you save me; pull me up from the grave?
Though my youth did mislead, I would retreat to you
Right back to your arms with my spirit aglow
Where the pains of the past exit en masse; through you
Too lost when we part, with the lungs of a lark
I (far removed from myself) had denied what I'd lost when my heart had withdrawn to the fray
(In a whimsical way), I would flee from the truth
I could bury in youth
(You would have me), You would have me if I'd fallen again
Would you bring me back out of the dark
With my lungs of a lark?
Cold have I calloused, but these walls are coming down
Walls were raised to bear the weight I'd not take
Too slow were my senses
Muted musings lost their way; disconnected
Only silence remained, holding my breath in the dark
Gasping for air with the lungs of a lark
Tell me, just how did you save me; pull me up from the grave?
Though my youth did mislead, I would retreat to you
Right back to your arms with my spirit aglow
Where the pains of the past exit en masse; through you
Too lost when we part, with the lungs of a lark
(In a whimsical way), I would flee from the truth
I could bury in youth
(You would have me), You would have me if I'd fallen again
Would you bring me back out of the dark
With my lungs of a lark?
