Demetrius by Hungry Lights Lyrics

O' it was fool's gold!
As I approached, distilled—swimming in dither
Had I gone astray?
Was it from longing for the crest I’d obtained?
I wouldn’t feel the chains

I was lost again
The bridge from here to you was burned
And I was stuck in between two cliffs
-One behind and one in front
I sank down until a hold from up above
I felt a pressing weight from my new crown
But I could never ever take it off

I was trapped under all the nonsense upon my height
How there was no fortune after all!
Just a boa constricting and pressing in

I've tried my hardest to fight against her revolt
But she had stonewalled
O’ she’s the prospect I’d never hold!
And a reflection from the out
Distracting from the realm within me
I knew not friend nor foe
For everything I saw was filmed in wrong
I was dreaming
Ladada-ladada-ladadum
I was dreaming
Ladada-ladadaaa!

When I awoke, the world I knew had been retired
It dropped down
I dropped again!
And I regret pursuing the foul beast
For I had let arrogance contort my perspective
I’m in ire!
And what a waste to think I had it perfect!
No, what did I have?
What did I have?
Nothing!
I am sincere when I say
That I wish that I never went back to the sea
-Deeper, the pit of my failures

In my eyes, you’re a clockwork soot-bat
Rearranged by perception
Do you feel it, or do you just want to leave me?

Well, aren’t I just the black-sheep jackal
Kicked from salvation's den!
How do I know you don’t trust me?
Because you tricked me
Is to trust not to put all faith into someone you don’t know?
Well, I don’t know you
At least I don’t anymore
