Light This City - Guiding The North Star Lyrics
In a world of such complex pathways we all feel lost.No one could ever understand your directionsThey used to be crystal clearBut they've been smeared by all the fingerprintsOf wanderers along your obscured pathOur messages all got tangled in their journeys from mouth to earWhite noise is filtered out as I submerge my headBeneath the ocean I can't seem to escapePathways are scarce down here, and no one needs to find their own way, No one wants to explore their own fateThe current takes them to where they should beIt's easier than to realize who you are, or that you've made a mistakeIn a place where isolation washes through your lungsLike acid and leaves you empty and burningMy message was crystal clearBut it's been muted by all the footstepsOf wanderers along this obscured pathOur images all got distorted in their journeys through our memoriesIf I don't respond, it's because I can't hear you, and my brain is turning redFrom being alienated for so longI think I might have been abandoned under the surfaceThis way they can't hear me screamingThis way they can't feel me bitingThis way they can't feel me scratchingThis way they can't hear meThe sounds are far quieter in a world where no one livesThe pain is much fiercer when you can't force someone else to feel itIf the earthen course would have taken me through bitter wars and meager comfortsAt least I would have never knownThe loneliness I failed to endureWhose vastness reaches past the depths of the sea I have drowned myself in.
