Allure - Earth Groans

Circling the bait

A door way down the hall

It’s up and to the left

It’s not a room for company

Not for friends, or for family

Marked with a warning

Six panels of faded mahogany

The only barrier separating me from mystery

Cursed is the curiosity

The oxidized bronze

Has developed a new shine for me

«Maybe just this one time»

«Surely i will not die»

Monarchs stir, sweat beading

Forbidden fruit has me salivating

The universe separated

As the seal was broken

It brought a ringing to my ears

And now my eyes have been opened

Oh what a discovery, what a brand new world to see

It totally encompassed me, an image of extraordinary

Colors speak in poetry

Sounds dance like calligraphy

This will be my sanctuary

When life builds up on me

This room is all that welcomes me

When I’m here, I swear I feel something

What if i’m wrong?

I’ll sing a cowards song

So what if i’m wrong

Just let me be

Oh how fast the world turns over

How fast the apple spoils

Substance turns to ash

And colors fade to black

The key is turned, and a free man becomes a prisoner

My conviction was a lock on the door and now its broken

Six panels of faded mahogany

The only barrier between you and me

The only way out is if i let you in
