"Narcissus" lyrics

"Narcissus"

Made me love you, made me love you
You made me feel the way I do without you now
Bewitched my mind, took possession of my very soul, enchanted me

I was drawn to you like those ships of fools that had come before
Drawn by your haunting voice but never, never reached the shore

Made love you, made me love you
You made me feel the way I do without you now
Convinced that I was your reflection
Poor Narcissus aching for perfect love

I went blindly through the fire for you, I burned it all
Made ashes of everything that I'd ever seen and ever known

I'm nothing but living, breathing flesh and blood
Alive, can you feel me?

I'm nothing but clear and empty sky above
I'm light, can you see me?

Look how I'm fading away
Look, how you've wasted away
Let me take you home

I was drawn to you like those ships of fools that had come before
Drawn by your haunting voice but never, never reached the shore

I'm nothing but living, breathing flesh and blood
Alive, can you feel me?

I'm nothing but the clear and empty sky above
I'm light, can you see me?

I'm cursed repeating words have no sense or meaning
Lies, can you hear me?

Look, how you're wasting away
Look how I'm fading away!
Look how I'm fading away!

Let me take you home
Will you let me take you home?
Will you let me take you?
