Corpus Delicti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still roaming through the streets of forbearaent
a gust of innocence has made of me the stoog of life
but i'm still patient, still aware of what we missed
i've found disillusion an ambiton
Here i am
Still listening to the sound of ignorance
my lust for weariness has made of me a fool of life
i've found an isolation in stagnation
"Come in", a voice is calling
a call in the name breaking
a break in the way we are fallin
a fall in the place i've got know
Now here i am
still wandering through the light of doubt
my quest of confusion has made of me the perfect dolt
but i'm still patient, but so bored inside
will i let myself drown in another fight
"Come in", a voice is calling
a call in the name breaking
a break in the way we are fallin
a fall in the place i've got know
It's over now, It's over now...
