Eidola - Forgotten Tongues lyrics

[Verse 1: Andrew Wells, Matthew Dommer] And I've lost my way trying to believe I'm okay Living with the guilt of every mistake I've made I saw you weep Give you all my blood Watched it leave my veins Cascading crimson life (cascading crimson life) I counted every time the light inside your eyes went dark Seeking a matriarch To redeem me [Chorus: Andrew Wells] Come make me into something new A depiction of broader view Come break me down And build me up like energy [Verse 1: Andrew Wells, Matthew Dommer] I gave you all my bones Watched you build a throne Only to be torn down (only to be torn down) And I counted every lie Balanced every time I tried to bargain with my own life To believe I am worth anything [Chorus: Andrew Wells] Come make me into something new A depiction of broader view Come break me down And build me up like energy [Bridge: Matthew Dommer, Andrew Wells] Why do I even try to fight? It all turns out the same Pulling punches in the rain To keep you here Do you believe me now? If I bare my soul? Or will you cast me out? If I lose control? [Interlude: Mario Savio, Sproul Hall, "Bodies Upon The Gears", December 2, 1964] And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears, and upon the wheels, upon the levers upon all the apparatus. And you’ve got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it to the people who own it, that unless you’re free the machine will be prevented from working at all [Outro: Matthew Dommer, Andrew Wells] What a desolate view Definition and truth Like sand through an hour glass A candle held blindly turns night into day In whispers you'll hear them say So give me all You can give Stay standing still Life just isn't long enough to wait for you Don't make the same mistakes A heart without a place I am my own saving grace Don't make the same mistakes My mind cannot erase I am my own saving grace
