about

As the title suggests, this track was an experiment with opposites. I drew a lot of inspiration from Tool's 10,000 Days album for this one.

lyrics

Spectre of a headcase
Even you'll admit it's true
A fiery broken ego
What is it about you?

Clinging to this lifeline
With renewed fervour
Have you tasted the fruits of your labour, even
Though there's so much more?

Now people come
And people go, but
Always when you
Need them most, what
Do you see when you look at me?
I wonder so, I wonder so

And finally, there's a cure
For your curse, your one affliction
The demons frown, the angels smile
Wondering what tomorrow brings

What pictures shall we weave in
This old tapestry?
So many empty spaces
Like reverse poetry

There's an angel in the doorway, and a
Devil up the stairs, now you're
Standing in the hallway, so
Very unaware that

Goodly eyes and
Friendly smiles make
So much sense in
This context, your
Bitter words, and
Biiter hurts

Everyone, everyone

Now scream and shout to
Let this demon out, and
Beat the impluse down, so
That you'll come around

So dark inside here, but
Don't you disappear, it's
Not too late, now
All we do is wait
