lyrics

Caught Away:

V1:
I killed my ego.
I buried it below.
So far down it will never make it out
And if it does
You know I’ll be there to crush it.

I left my old place.
Erased my own face.
Wanted to hide out and lie,
Way down inside,
Never oh ever again to resurface.

I changed my first name.
Now I sign it with pain,
As the old me is found
I become food for the hounds
Piled up in mounds with my brothers and my sisters.

I traded my brain
For one that’s more sane.
I’ll try it like this
Eyes closed with balled fists
I swing at the world as away I am hurled

Chorus:
Into darkness not light
No rapture tonight
Were you caught away?
Were you caught away?

V2:
I shed my new skin.
I called up lost kin.
I thrashed on my hyde
For pity and pride
And next I’m astounded by my own dark side.

I think and lose track.
I speak and react.
For better or worse
For kisses, for curse
Deep down inside my own soul needs a nurse

Chorus:
Into darkness not light
No rapture tonight
Were you caught away?
Were you caught away?

Outro:
We will dine with the gods tonight. x2
In the morning we go,
In the morning we go home. x2
