The Illustrated Man Lyrics by Arida Vortex

The Illustrated Man

2015

Intro
When lost
Don't follow her path
All bonds of present and past get cut
Anger's a pain-soaked root
When lost
Don't follow her path in the woods
Bridge
All the old colours
Faded and sullen
Now're on your skin
Trade your own soul
Empty and shallow
Trade with her kin
Feel your old tortures
Freeing and scorching
Never the same
Play your old roles
Borrowed and stolen
Rusty and lame
Cut in deeper
Hell of a woman with fingers of needles
Feel no sorrow
Paint a sequel, weave in a story
Cut in, knit it
Make my skin brighter, make the seams neater
Show mе your silver
Show me the colour of pain!
Whеn lost
Don't follow her path
All bonds of present and past get cut
Anger's your mask and your part
When lost
Don't trade for her craft and her art
All the old colours
Faded and sullen
Now're on your skin
Trade your own soul
Empty and shallow
Trade with her kin
Feel your old tortures
Freeing and scorching
Never the same
Play your old roles
Borrowed and stolen
Rusty and lame
Sketches fit in -
Future stories of anger and pity
Full and hollow
All intertwined in a picture to follow
Pain and hatred -
Characters feel what you have created
Show me your crimson
Show me the colour of lust!
Solo
Pain will linger
With of a woman with needles of fingers
Raw and covered
Cryptic spells of despair and courage
Cut in, sew it
Mend my own skin with the patches of soul
Show me your yellow
Show me the colour of hate!
Sketches fit in -
Future stories of anger and pity
Full and hollow
All intertwined in a picture to follow
Pain and hatred -
Characters feel what you have created
Show me your silver
Show me the colour of pain!
