RISHLOO
Shades
[Verse 1]
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

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

[Verse 2]
Come here to rest
And then cosset the crows
Who murder the raven
And those who cast the losing die

[Pre-Chorus]
Leave me to sway here, if at all
Listing ageless
Wait

[Chorus]
Trace these suicide shades
Uncovered through this pious lullaby
Praise to suffer while we brace ourselves
Shaking hands on the altar
See these paths to their end
Through the pulse of hate
[Verse 3]
And now walking along the earth
It always turns inward, oh
To let their souls writhe
Sealing softly, it is wanting hate

[Chorus]
Trace these suicide shades
Uncovered through this pious lullaby
Pray and suffer, erase, erase, erase, erase
Erase, erase, erase, erase

Hidden Track

[Verse 1]
In the deep dark shadows where everyone lies
There's a circus smirking debutante, conducting his spies
And at its turns, he wins to their chagrin, now everyone dies
In his deep, dark shadows where everyone lies
(Shame, shame)

[Verse 2]
Now he stands in the center, with his Cheshire grin
Peeling off oscillating memories attached to their skin
Well, it's over soon, now, red balloons keep us amputees in
In this deep, dark circus where nobody wins
(Shame, shame)
