Fugue lyrics

Opening these eyes for the first time As if they had seen all along Follow these callings beyond the storm Dying to know why this seems so momentary For so long I've been waiting To return to the world left behind me Don't believe a word that you hear I've written all that can be revealed (Is this a sign to surrender?) Don't let all be lost not having read The words that through ink were bled Is this a sign to surrender? With a blindfold tied and just one round in the chamber The will escapes me To stop the record from skipping The streets have emptied And I have finally made up my mind It's no wonder that there was No exchange between our eyes And I don't know if this is Something from which I can hide It's no wonder that there was (I didn’t mean for it to be this way) No exchange between our eyes And I don't know if this is (A symphony without arms and) Something from which I can hide I didn’t mean for it to be this way A symphony without arms and A theater empty while you're Stranded in the balcony Follow these callings beyond the storm Dying to know why this seems so momentary The shore, dreading the shore I.xii.x.viii.ii.vii.iv.xiii.ix.iii.v.xi.vi.xiv. And when I finally Pass through your gate Avoiding the faces Staring up at me Expecting our eyes To meet again I met instead Our names etched in stone
