Lyrics A Grey Cloth Covering My Face - Elf Power

A Grey Cloth Covering My Face

Opened up my eyes
Opened up the door
Nothing ever changed
Still I’m in the war
Bullets fly above
Step over the bones
You are like a light
Underneath the stone
You were in the house
I was in the street
You sat there all along
You could never leave
Men have rearranged
Spread out of control
You were in the sky
I was in the hole
And like a grey cloth that was covering my face
Obscured my vision and it took up all my space
Melting all away
Everyone is burned
Everyone’s surprised
No one ever learns
Rats are on the run
And I am born anew
But nothing is the same
The light is coming through
And laws of civilization don’t apply to us
We are always everyday all filled with dread and lust
And now I feel it starting over again
Here I am still vainly clutching at those phantom limbs
When all the thought is gone
Desire is stripped away
Now there is an ocean coming from the image that you made
While I’m in the space
Waiting for the rub
Somewhere far away
You’re coming back to life
Circle in the sky
No warmth on the ground
I’m calling out your name
But you are never found
