lyrics

in my dreams
and crawling from my sleep
is a liminal dichotomy
a parasitic effigy
now, i know, to do what i'm told
but it's hard not to enjoy the pain
when everybody has the same goal

so was it worth it?
watching my blood spill under morning dawn
I thought I'd earned it
to watch you sit stand idle next to me
but at point-blank gauge
with the urge to attack
it's hard to feel alive
with a knife in your back
i guess a phantom intention
or wrong misdirection to you
gave me all i to see another view

my dreams
are crawling from my sleep
it's a liminal dichotomy
or parasitic effigy
yeah, i know, to do what what i'm told
but i can't help shake the feeling that ive already been down this road

my fears are begging for release
so give what i'm needing
another shot of treason
yeah, that's right, i'll do what i'm told
cuz as long as you're the leader
i'll do anything but ask for more

always cutting phases
to ensure a state of stasis
a countermeasure
always put in place
it's a lame attempt to
reap and remain faceless

keep me
inside your pathetic dreams
like a self-fulffilling prophecy
or paradoxic enemy
yeah, i know, you've been here before
but i just can't help myself, go on and open up the sky some more

my fears are begging for release
so give what i'm needing
another shot of treason
yeah, that's right, i'll do what i'm told
cuz as long as you're the leader
i'll do anything but ask for more
snap back, my perfect little soul
as i play the deciever
give me a taste of reason
yeah, go on, another plead for more
in an encore dance of death
you're not the one that I'm aiming for

oh, with the hit of a knife
defy a paradigm
don't ever think twice
about the way i've lied
falling back to my knees
i plead for sancitity
so give me what i need
a life to sow and reap

give me another life to please
like a parasitic enemy
or byproduct of haunted dreams
you should know i'll do what I'm told
and i just can't keep myself from drawing lines through every word you wrote
i [won't] need saving
[give me a taste] of blood [and i'll want you] some more
but [you] should know
[if i'm still playing]
[then the rules are void and im] going to war.
strike low

my fears are begging for release
so give what i'm needing
another shot of treason
yeah, that's right, i'll do what i'm told
cuz as long as you're the leader
i'll do anything but ask for more
snap back, my perfect little soul
as i play the deciever
give me a taste of reason
yeah, go on, another plead for more
in an encore dance of death
you're not the one that I'm aiming for

(with the hit of a knife
defy a paradigm
don't ever think twice
about the way i've lied
falling back to my knees
i plead for sancitity
so give me what i need
a life to sow and reap
snap back to me
i breathe; therefore i cry
don't say i don't try
to patch you line by line
falling back on my knees
i pray for empathy
to give me back
what you have once stole from me)

Aura

Though it's hard to pick just one, Aura might be my all-time favourite song from GHOST. Solaria's vocals are beautifully showcased, and the eerie Polish-inspired instrumental and lyrics keep me captivated no matter how many times I listen wondersmith_39
