"Shades" Lyrics

We're, if at all, slaves to a pawn caught in a cautious lie
If at all, staggering weightless haggard stained cynical
It all tastes sweet

Leave me to sway here, if at all
Listing ageless
Wait, wait and see

Come here to rest
And then cosset the crows
Who murder the raven
And those who cast the losing die

Leave me to sway here, if at all
Listing ageless
Wait

Trace these suicide shades
Uncovered through this pious lullaby
Praise to suffer
While we brace ourselves
Shaking hands on the alter
See these paths to their end
Through the pulse of hate

And now walking along the earth
It always turns inward
To let their souls writhe
Silting softly it is wanting
Hate

Trace these suicide shades
Uncovered through this pious lullaby
Pray and suffer
Erase...

In the deep, dark shadows where everyone lies
There's a circus smirking debutant conducting his spies
And now he's turned you in, to their chagrin, and now everyone dies
In his deep, dark shadows where everyone lies

Shades...

Now he stands in the center with his Cheshire grin
Peeling off oscillating memories attached to their skin
But it's over soon, now red balloons keep us amputee's in
In his deep, dark circus where nobody wins
