Charlatan Lyrics by Katabasis

Dreams of Dying Remedies

2018

Stargazing through these cold empty streets
I'll call to god like a beggar to a thief
He listens closely to my heart beat
Search for meaning not tired and cheap
He finds a soul so decrepit and poor
I look to him like he's something pure
He'll dissolve into the night
Lead to believe in my visions light
Making faith my only sight
So fragile yet so divine
I want to believe in something
That could stop my brain from swelling
Let the world fall to my feet
So I can march to the beat of my dreams
Stargazing every night
Drinking poison to feel delight
Exhale the smoke ‘til I see the light
Fantasizing about my past lies
If I could change my mind
I'd let you paint me pure white
But your hands are tied
From the indecision
In this stream of life
So I'll remain black and blue
Till the sea washed me up to false truth
Watched my loved ones believe endlessly
As I paint a picture of envy
Left me there grasping the air
Until I knew that nothing was there
Succumbed to the power of illusion
Sank into sand to forget eternity
But I always call out to nothing
So it seems I’m doing something
I live and die with every breath
Puncture my lungs ‘til there's nothing left
Locked up and I swallowed the key
So I could never see beauty in greed
Left to soak in the rain ‘til I descend to a godless reign
Dig those fingers into my eyes
Disconnect me from my tortured youth
I'll become one with the damned
As I cannot believe in you
Succumbed to the power of illusion
Sank into sand to forget eternity
But I always call out to nothing
So it seems I’m doing something
If I could sacrifice every sin
To feel solace in the skin I'm in
I'd let the knife cut me deep
And become your dismal being
