Messiah Complex i: Ivory Tower

i) Ivory Tower

Shameless

Skying above

Preying on the nameless

Jury and judge

Everything they had was never enough

Spirit me away

Crawling under my skin

Spiralling through my head

Taste my own medicine

Drunk on the power

Rid this pestilence from within

A prayer for the innocent

Talk me down from the ledge of my Ivory tower

Struggle to be in the now

When life is too much to swallow

It spits me right out

But I cling on

Reaping seeds I dared to sow

For all the lives I ever stole

And now I must repel the host

Forever I’ll be

Spirited away

Crawling under my skin

Spiralling through my head

Taste my own medicine

Drunk on the power

Rid this pestilence from within

A prayer for the innocent

Talk me down from the ledge of my Ivory tower

Where I end you begin

When I fall you will stand
