Pallid Bust of Dante

Pallid Bust of Dante

[Verse]
'Round in circles, 'round in circles, 'round we go again
Tryin' desperately to taste or smell or see the end
Being told we are
But we know the bar
That we set and
Now we're trying to forget it

When the thickness, when the thickness, when it clouds my head
Like a fog inside my brain for sure will see me dead
Smelling smoke inside
Can't tell the truth from lies
But we believe it and
Know we cannot achieve it

[Chorus]
When the end of me is caving in just like my head
When my mind is gone like it is right now and I can't pretend
When the mask I wear looks cracked and scared like the face inside
When I run away but my legs are tired and I can't hide
Then let your arms be my cure
Let me know what you're here for
Be my safety, be my haven
Be the death of Quoth the Raven
Be my safety, Paradiso
Be the death of my Inferno

[Verse]
In the empty, in the empty, in the emptiness
There I stand alone with nothing but the darkness left
Asking questions now
Understanding not how
I'm s'posed to do this but
They say that I'll get through it

Only handfuls, only handfuls even comprehend
How it feels or how it feeds or how it never mends
Chopping brain tissue
This is my issue
It never disappears
My life is lived in every fear

[Chorus]
When the end of me is caving in just like my head
When my mind is gone like it is right now and I can't pretend
When the mask I wear looks cracked and scared like the one inside
When I run away but my legs are tired and I can't hide
Then let your arms be my cure
Let me know what you're here for
Be my safety, be my haven
Be the death of Quoth the Raven
Be my safety, Paradiso
Be the death of my Inferno
