The Dreaming Spell

from Even a Broken Record by Malaphors

/

lyrics

Where every thought is amplified
And humours run at all-time high
Relinquish to a long day's defeat
Salt and sweat in the sheets
This scintillating dark
(I hide away, so you'll never tell)
Conceals a grand façade
(The false portrayal of myself)

The friends behind my eyes
The visions I've had all my life
Comfort me within the eye
Of this terrible storm of lies
Shedding tears of joy
The spectres I've had all my life
Come for me in liquid light
To suffocate the inner voice

(Oh, what it takes
Oh, how I shake
Oh, how I'd die
To breathe new life)

(Lay me down within your glow
On a bed of virgin snow
I'm so glad to meet with you
With you anywhere I'll go
Lay me down and let me go
Figure clad in visual snow
I'm so glad to meet with you
Take me everywhere you'll go)

Oh, you don't know what it takes
(To surrender to dreams)
Oh, you don't know how I shake
(To submit my disguise)
Oh, you don't know what it takes
(To not succumb to the grief)
Oh, don't you know how I'd die
(To suckle new life)

Lady of unearthly glow
Figure clad in visual snow
The night comes crashing through my sorrow
Lady bathed in birth's glow
I'm so glad you're here
But it won't last, no it won't
(Day breaking through my pillow)

Cocooned in this shell
Secured in her spell
But it won't last, no it won't

(Lay down, relax your mind)

Penetrate my soul!
Desolate the cold!
(Lay me down and let me go
Lady clad in visual snow
Won't you lay me down and)
Keep me in your hold
(Baby, keep me in your spell
On a bed of virgin snow
Maybe I won't die be–)
Before I get too old

Lady bathed in birth's glow
I'm so glad you're here
But it won't last, no it won't, no

(Lay me down within your glow
On a bed of virgin snow
I'm so glad to meet with you
With you anywhere I'll go
Lay me down and let me go
Figure clad in visual snow
I'm so glad to meet with you
Take me everywhere you'll go)
