I smell the shit and piss   I swear I found my equal   A gutter philosopher   He's not clean, He's from the streets   But his words are holy to me      He narrates his life as a silhouette   He's legendary, a martyr for despair and tragedy   Yet post-traumatic he shares with me   Sleep and surrender    The bandage of past resides in my dreams   My blood is oil, fossilized, poisoned and perfect black      Release me to the night   In the darkness I'm behind the light   Transparent flight   As you see (I'm fading)   That I've begun to fade   A shadow I remain      Were mortal in humanity   Immortal after being      Does the burden of life proceed? (After I'm dead)   Or do we lie peaceful as we enter sleep?   He's falling over screaming at me      Choke you pretender   Your spitting out phrases of fallacy   Love is lie, paralyzed, by your reflection of staring back      Release me to the night   In the darkness I'm behind the light   Transparent flight   As you see (I'm fading)   That I've begun to fade   A shadow I remain      Young man, learn to trust your drink   It only costs a fraction of the price   You pay to get her under sheets    Young man, it's better to have never loved    Then find the one whom   Will cast you into the shadows   Learning how to live your life as a silhouette      Were mortal in humanity   Immortal after being      Oh, it's just the price you pay   Oh, just take the hint from me   Oh, if this goes another year   Oh, just say fuck the world you lost your girl      Release me to the night   In the darkness I'm behind the light   Transparent flight   As you see (I'm fading)   That I've begun to fade   A shadow I remain      Were mortal in humanity   Immortal after being
