The Fountain

The Fountain

I exterminate the core from all the scandals

Clip its wings

Are we the animals, the blood, the cancer

If the flesh transcends the remedy

Eternity at every turn

I seek absolution

I'm shackled to these fragments deep within

I’m in chains by the fountain

Out of nothing

Enemy of misery

I’m in chains by the fountain

Into nothing

Enemy of misery

Sleepless child, demolisher

Bound by blood and suffering

Cut the strings and love the fall

Cut them deep and then breach the wall

Dead and captive

My salvation heeds the call

Pushing off the ghost from my past

Forever on, I am never gone

I’m in chains by the fountain

Out of nothing

Enemy of misery

I’m in chains by the fountain

Into nothing

Enemy of misery

On I go, I’m drowning in

Being choked by a memory

Never whole, feed the ghost within

On I go

On I go, I’m drowning in

Being choked by a memory

Never whole, feed the ghost within

Out of nothing

Chained by the fountain

On I go, I’m drowning in

Never whole

I’m chained by the fountain
