lyrics

Travesty
a different kind of honesty.

Flickering away the lush,
burring it
with silence in a rush.

Presupposing the inevitable
this fever's becoming irreversible.

Blowing it up,
under a shredded rug.

Anything can happen,
when you least expect it.

Anything can happen,
when you slip.
Starting to transmit.

They haven't found me yet
tied to my own bed.

Stranded.
An unknown boat has landed.

With a crew made of one,
my life has just begun.

Piercing the flesh
with a feeling so fresh.

The windmill keeps on turning,
the winds keep on burning.

I don't care anymore,
moved on with my folklore.

Made it to Neon City
to stand in front a committee.

To admit,
to submit,
ask them to permit,
to let me go from this pit.

Recognize me as a human being,
one that isn't sightseeing.

Ou contrer,
one that's bare.

Stripped away of everything.
Made it passed the guards
to find you locked away
within these yards.

Praying for a day
when your hero will end this foul play.

Broke the bars,
took you from these spaces,
away to far places.

No permission needed from the board
while slaying the lord
with my sword,

We took flight,
exploring the endless night,
your deep sight.

Forever yours,
contemplating.

Forever yours,
my heart you're populating.

Starting off with a kiss,
a shinning bliss,
fished you out from an abyss.

A shinning bliss,
fished you out from an abyss.
