The Lesser Evil

I saw a face on a blank stage It said nothing but what I ever heard Is it now so easy to settle up? They all know Come back soon It was inevitable That I would lose my way I’m still straining to say that within our veins In time oh it looms What can I do? How will I live on? (Reeling me so out of mind) Sunsetting, new hostility Right where you stand Bear down and… I realize I’m at the fault of the edge And you confuse your words Your reflection is a guise I’ve been dying to rake away I said wait— I’m not where I belong by now And if you turn my way I’m still reaching for better lies Will nothing veil all I’ll lose? What can I do? How will I live on? (Reeling me so out of mind) Sunsetting on a new hostility (in me) Right where you stand Bear down and... I fail to see Your divinity on these lines Once again, you prophesize You cry me a river To drown in your river while you wait For the switch to turn the light I feel as your venom now Deceived and all alone You bare your teeth and light your face Gaunt in this cold I’m left to lose this world I never knew it was so Drifting away to feeling near Dare I live in this state? Are we left to fade (under)? Are we meant for nothing to mend our ties? Edify Are we left to fade (under) With no reason to better the heartless narrow? Edify All those who burn by it All they know Reawake the sun isn’t I Will it last like you never? Dream for your infinite All that faith is lost Were you waiting for us to believe? Say the word, I’ll be in your mind When it dies and they render Dream for your infinite All that faith is lost Dare to speak my name Dare I live Thievious and right, now You pretend to us Thievious and right, now If we fade out the white noise Long enough to hear The ringing in our ears Then we know Then we know, then we all know And we know In the end what keeps us awake And we know It’s decided You feel it either way Hell piercing through my heart Tearing might away Are we left to fade (under)? Are we meant for nothing to mend our ties? Edify Are we left to fade (under) With no reason to better the heartless narrow? Edify All those who burn by it All they know You like to think you spare no evil
