Aphelion Lyrics

A pillar to the world between worlds

An unfinished escape

of the brain in a cage

Doldrums! Doldrums!

The bleak and beige

I am an absentee

My hand, a wasteland

Find me a spark, find me a watershed

The first sight of love

Like a dance in the air

A born-again high

The best in my life, the sea, and the stars

The rabbit hole, I'm sinking further

Far and away, I feel everything

The aches and pains of the years have ravaged us

But smooth waters don't make strong sailors

Beyond the pale, I feel it slipping

The path that leads to you

Dreaming, dying just to break loose

It seems so far away

The moment electric

The planet halts for us

From the edge of it all

You found me

Drowning and breathless

It took one look in your eyes

I'd swear I'd live forever

Where do we go when we die?

The Great Unifier

Cruel and ancient

The earth can keep us

But happy I'd be in a cosmic forever

The work made early meant nothing

The flame came from your gaze

The colors that permeate

A glow that rivaled our Sun

Falling end over end

Never a second unworthy

"Nothing", a blissful, blank canvas

Crumbling under the weight of each other

Swimming through the frame

A crippling hunger to plant roots

Flickering in and out again

Burn it down!

Beyond the pale, I feel it slipping

The path that leads to you

Dreaming, dying just to break loose

It seems so far away

Comforting void

Empty-handed

It stares back at me

Reflecting nothing

There was never another

The world lost its color

I saw them circle

Closer and closer

One by one, their voices say

The dark only gets darker

Stop living a life on the drain

A broken skull will end your thinking

Drop

Eyes closed

Give in

Exhale!

Farthest in my orbit the center

Of everything that I am

Slipping through the cracks of the surface

A burning Icarus

Grasping and force-feeding of what's dead

Poisons the well of

Flailing thoughts of memories of feelings I won't feel again

Tremble! Tremble!

Peel away the

Layers of me

Rebuild from ruin

I feel it breaking down

Until I am the only

One left in my way

In the dream

We fall away

I find you solitary

A face in knots

Your skeletal silver

Frozen in fractals

Is this what we are?

Awed by onlookers?

Where is the muse?

Who would love you?

I see you

I feel you

You aren't lost on me

A lesson

A warning

To be the better of us

We are human

Only human

We are flawed and starving

We are dreaming!

We are dying!

Crashing through each other!

Terrified!
