ThouShaltNot - Relief lyrics

I didn't want to believe the way The sky fell in as the wilted choke The sleeper relieved of consciousness The dreams relieved of all their joy The snake relieved of venom tongue The need to hold fast to everyone And as the birthday girl opens up her box Her life is relieved of all But the narrowest corridor in the way Of a final and ultimate goal Windows and shutters and lowly creatures Waiting for you at the pole I forget how many ways to go There were at this journey's start But all I feel is tooth and nail As they sink into my heart
