Lyrics Revelation - Aethere

Revelation

This former self is dead and gone
While the ghost still haunts
Sends shivers frequently
A cold chill that reminds of the path once walked
I try not to wander
Not to drift
But it’s hard when pieces fit
I don’t know if it comes from the self-loathing
Or the deep rooted exhaustion of burning the wick at both ends
Pouring gasoline to fuel this ouroboros of sleep deprivation and caffeine
Tail in mouth, consuming until finally there is nothing left
My heart aches
I can’t fathom why or how in the slightest
Even then, this feeling never leaves
Never fails
But always lingers…
The subtle song of sorrow haunts my head
Like the ghost that follows me close
Breathing…
Waiting…
Always watching…
The keys strike slowly
Ringing quietly
Sending cold, dead, shivers down my spine
Reflecting the haunting memories and fears that consume me
Slowly unraveling the abhorrence through whispers and whimpering sounds
Dead eyes wait
Forever open to the world
