lyrics

“Stop”, the young woman said. “Your lies are the reason you embrace that feathered shell. Be honest, be still. Awake to your phantom form with just a wish and a will.” In the chest that they failed to protect, a Passage of Never-Ending pages laid to rest. This Canvas is calling to strike you a bargain, one you couldn’t bear to resist.”

He said that “It can take away your bitterness and your sadness too. Reveal the river running red, your soul to sell. Ask for anything you want, for anything you will. It’s a promise for a promise, take that promise let it go.

Her glowing hands are hands that take the slumbering reality and make it real (a worthy enterprise). Let us set aside her crooked calling, take her as the moonlit daughter of this forest, of its wicked ways.

She said “if it can take away my bitterness and my sadness too. This gift that many fear, surrenders down to you. Ask me for anything you want, for anything you will. This Forest is your Forest and it’s yours because of Lilith!

She frees you of your feathers and your flesh! Of this embodiment, this torture and this test. To the edge of the darkness with us.

This world, it’s not for her. The creator within had no place in her skin. This world, it’s for the rest-but she could never forgive, and she could never forget. Those words, they went too far. They could never return what was stolen from her. The dark consumed her heart, and the tears were replaced with the falling of stars up above.
