Escape by Elision Lyrics

Do not devolve into cutting teeth
I tell myself I have come this far
Using my psyche and spirit alone
Do not evade, do not attempt to erode

The opposing ends of the spectrum you see
So vividly

To be guided, blindfolded
Up to the pulpit
To reckon with the nadirs one has witnessed
The only way to surpass ungodly visions

Kneel down and close your eyes
For I have seen the product of relying on only one side of the problem

As though there is no one who sees it differently
Find guidance in those you stand against
Find solace in knowing that they are there

Sometimes all I can see is what I believe to be
Inexpressible, simply ineffable
Then at once it clears in my head
My mind returns to a state of calming clarity
I hold fast my sanity
And cling to reality

I remember you sang, I stand alone
I am one, I am whole
How funny it feels thinking back to that time
Now that I see you in this state, here before me
