lyrics
GLISTENING LIKE OBSIDIAN
There I was, there I was
Across your field of vision
There I was, there I was
Standing alone on a pinnacle of ideas
That crumbled before me
Had I'd been clairvoyant
I would've seen it from the inside
Glistening like obsidian
And spreading like the Milky Way
Even in hindsight
I would've played out the scene exactly the same!
Pointing fingers, and pinning the blame
Nobody knows my name
Don't you tell me that I create my own reality
I've already affirmed, what I want to see
What I want to see
And this looks like nothing
Like the truth to me
It's getting the best of me
I had to get away from me
There I was, there I was
Standing across your field of vision
There I was, there I was
Standing across your field of vision
Glistening like obsidian
And spreading like the Milky Way
Even in hindsight I would've
Played out the scene exactly the same
Don't you tell me that I...
Don't you tell me..
They held him high in high esteem
My how the foundations crumbled
And the light emitted from his pores
Like strands of gold
A heart so cold
Couldn't feel what they feel
As they sealed him up
As they sealed him up
As they sealed him up
As they sealed him up
Mmm hmmm.
