lyrics
Tame, reduced
Brought under this master
Blamed, accused
Shamed, seduced
Brought under this master
Shamed, aloof
Out here in exile
I’m lost at sea
I’m lost at sea
On threadbare paths that lead in circles
I’m lost at sea
We’re lost in space
The nightmare screams
The rusted seams
I’m lost at sea
The nightmare screams
The rusted seams
I’m lost at sea
We’re lost in space
The blight you see just look at me
I’m lost at sea
The blight you see just look at me
I’m lost at sea
We’re lost in space
You steal
I stumble
And I’m afraid just to turn around
Call truce
You summon
And I’m there like the speed of sound
You deal
I wonder
And I’m afraid just to turn around
Your crisis outlasted
Your whims, your wisdom
Corrode like the end of times
Your smile, defiant
And I leave my whole world behind
Mercy, mercy it’s a chore to be
Won’t you help me under
Curses, curses, will they ever lift again
Help me under
Mercy, mercy it’s a chore to be
Won’t you help me understand
Your whims, your wisdom
Corrode like the end of time
Your smile, defiant
And I leave my whole world behind
Tame, reduced
Brought under this master
Blamed, accused
Shamed, seduced
Brought under this master
Shamed, aloof
Out here in exile
I’m lost at sea
I’m lost at sea
On threadbare paths that lead in circles
I’m lost at sea
We’re lost in space
The nightmare screams
The rusted seams
I’m lost at sea
The blight you see just look at me
I’m lost at sea
We’re lost
Curses that scorn give me mercy
That beg for my return defeat
You steal
I stumble
And I’m afraid just to turn around
Call truce
You summon
And I’m there like the speed of sound
You deal
I wonder
And I’m afraid just to turn around
Your crisis outlasted
Your whims, your wisdom
Corrode like the end of times
Your smile, defiant
And I leave my whole world behind
Why ask me to think any differently
We got ourselves in deep
We got ourselves in too deep
