Case Studies - The Eagle or the Serpent Lyrics
Well Scorpio you came in there were not words to take your placeWill it be the Eagle, or the Serpent?Are you getting any older, though you're closer to the graveEach day sit like a stranger, waiting in dark places patientlyWaiting for eruption, waiting for creation, awaiting explanation of the mysteriesWaiting on the promise of a life so far away,Waiting for a woman to come and knock upon your doorAnd you wonder what you want her there forSo now have another glass of wine, another cigaretteFor your lips they don't feel pleasure anymoreCould you recognize an honest case, now could you separateSo many lives that you have graced and whispered beforeHungry for connection, or was it just replacementFalsifying flesh to fit a role that needs to playAre you lying to reflections,Are the strangers that you find sleeping next to you just shadows of your own self indulgent mindAnd now you hear her footsteps falling just in timeWell it's the nighttime and I'm lonely,Well of course you are, she saidDon't you think it's time to introduce yourselfTo your hands, they are your hands, your words, they are your wordsExpecting to be born is just another sad songWaiting for an emotion, awaiting reproduction, awaiting conversations with your enemiesWaiting for a time I hope is not so far awayWaiting for the moment you don't sing alongWhen you don't sing alongWe'll go back and tell the children,Do not be afraid, explain to them,This skin is just a mask I wear for now, so I can recognize my voiceIt is so heavy, but it suits me so that if I should remove it, what then would replace it?The Eagle, or the Serpent
