Chevelle - Shameful Metaphors



Fear

It's all the same

Should I evolve

To tend to these sights

Said out loud then said again

If fate's so wrong

You'll start to feel lightheaded

By my admission, nothing grows

Just a longer list of unsorted laws



So why then

Has all my life made no sound

And are your eyes

Closing even now

My life made no sound

I fear your eyes closing



Revolting man

This sacred chain

Brought down to trial

No better man could fail the way

You needed all

Keep close the vein of empty

Thoughts



The finest river,

The ravens tend

All along insisting

We're worlds away



So why then

Has all my life made no sound

And are your eyes

Closing even now

My life made no sound

I fear your eyes closing



Behold the lost

Behold a Band-Aid



Behold the lost

Behold a Band-Aid



These shameful metaphors

Fought it through the teeth



Shameful metaphors

Biting at your heels



Shameful metaphors

Fought it cheek to cheek



So why then

Has all my life made no sound

(These shameful metaphors)

And are your eyes

Closing even now

My life made no sound

(These shameful metaphors)

I fear your eyes closing
