"Aegis" lyrics

Uh

I turn my back, I saw myself attached, what type of shit is that?
I can't react, 'cause I'm responsible, respondin' to the fact
Of the matter, patterns are intact, and what I lacked was a sense of me
No sense in keepin' tabs, the dreamer laughed, and weeped
And went to sleep, and woke up with a mask, soot and ash is where I stood
To find my footin' on this path
My life a tapestry, I'm weavin' grief to see I'm still aghast, to counteract it
I've been seekin' peace, and heavin' through the gas
And when I gasp, and reachin' my beneath
The soil kinda tough, the bodies in the crust, don't claim defeat
Completion is a must, we send it up, and still ascendin' up
Simultaneously bleedin', teach me how to think of us
'Cause every thought of me is fleeting
Needing what I'm bred to love, to know her glowin' fervour is to be amongst
Amongst
Whatever that means

Keep on diggin'
We saw 'em dead when we was only children
Know the feeling way too well, I know the smell, the vision chilling
My horizon line, the age of five, is when I was distilling
Casket at my eyes, was lifted to its height, and through the ceiling
Seen a spirit fly, I know I can't go with him
Will I wither, or will I arise, and be the void to fill the void in father's eyes?
He slipped away, although I saw him hurtin', I was safe
Surface of the lake, reflect the moon, its distant ripples undulate
I seek the light, can't stay within his darkness of a covered face
Covered faces
All the disarray, they find they placement

He stormed to the door of his room, and opened it, and went in, and pulled on the light
He turned to the window, and put his hand onto the upper ledge, and lifted
He felt a cold rush of air laden with snow
The inside of his stomach glowed white-hot
With his feet upon the bottom ledge, his legs bent under him, his sweaty body shaken by wind
He looked into the snow and tried to see the ground below, but could not
Then, he leaped
He got to his feet, and one at a time, he walked, and tried to run
But he felt too weak

I closed my eyes, it's alright
I closed my eyes through the night
With open eyes, I'm in flight now
Was met with grace by the fire
I'll close my eyes, it's alright
I closed my eyes through the night
With open eyes, I'm in flight now
