Axe The Ultimate

I've been a victim to the blade against myself Bloodletting all of my soul Sucked in, paralyzed in this vortex Reduced to silence In the dark, I've lingered too long This sharpened axe, beam of light I reach for, and I master Wield against these shadows Its purpose now revealed in silence Keep searching, question if this light ends Now I will strike and dig with precision Introspective eye, erase the concept I lost my fears and the notion of time I healed my sorrow All boundaries are illusion When you reach the centre light and Reinforce the striking power By chance you're followed Its purpose now revealed in silence Keep searching, question if this light ends Oh All ghosts dwelling in Inside, in the heart I see them all Release their shadow

If I had to break it down I'd say it's the way you love to dance Moving the furniture when my back is turned The flick of the lights, and the world falls away And your office job and your silver hair But our shapes in the dark are The reason I've stayed for all these years I thought I was a genius, but now I'm 22 And it's starting to feel like all I know how to do is Put on a suit, and take it away With my fistful of tunes that it's painful to play Fingernail worlds like favorite seashells They fill up my nights, and then they float away I've got hundreds of gowns, I've got paintings in frames And a throat that fills with panic every festival day Dutifully falling apart for the Princess of Norway But you with your doll's lashes, your infinite T-shirts I should've known when your favorite record was the same as my father's You'd take me down I guess I'll always be this way Swallowed up by the words and halfway to space But there, by the fire, you offered your hand And as I took it, I loved you, the boy with the plan You felled me clean as a pine The man with the axe And the light in his eyes We've been through so many hard times I'm writing a love song for you, baby
