This Delphic Hole Lyrics


Let me be the breathing stain

On a globe of suffocating pain

Where everything grows from a lie

And corrupts the love within me

Let me be the murky stone

Upon your golden throne

Your penetrating evil eye

Has drained my life of living

Raise me some walls, paint a blue sky

And keep everyone outside

Cut pulling strings, bless me with wings

Just to let myself go

Let my verses be the clay

Sunrise on a blackened day

A fictional utopia

Just to revel in for a while

Let me be the hand of fate

Gift me with the senses to create

And this Delphic hole you’re passing by

Is my world to come undone

And make my hands the hands of time

And keep everything outside

Lock out the sun, form a new one

Just to cast a shadow

I can see clearer now

For there’s all black around

I traded your openness

For my painted cage

Blaming you, endless wrath

I chose misguided paths

Now I am here

And will never return

I am so swallowed by this Delphic hole…
