Orchid Songtext

von Erra

As our world oscillates to shake the weak remains
Show your strength
Resist all temptation to follow illusions
Expressed with safety
Open up your wings, and fly to sanctuary
Trying to dislocate from talk and scoff that shows them what they are

Murderous words might as well been sent by a bullet
Keep your eyes closed and your fingers crossed
‘Til our paths meet, I'll try to lead the way
Take me back to who I was back then
I'll show you what life means to me again.
Maybe in due time, you'll let me in
I'll lift the weight, so you don't have to fall.

Brother
When every muscle strains
I will lift the weight for you.
Sister
If you just call my name
I will lift the weight for you.
You can't find the strength
Your eyes lose resistance
I will lift the weight for you.

I wasn't there for the darkest of hallways, the longest of paths.
A crazy train going off the tracks.
Catch my fall when the earth shakes.
Catch my fall when the earth shakes.

Take me back to who I was back then
An honest man and a faithful friend.
I'll show you what life means to me again.
Maybe in due time, you'll let me in
'cause there is so much left to amend.

Brother
When every muscle strains
I will lift the weight for you.
Sister
If you just call my name
I will lift the weight for you.
You can't find the strength
Your eyes lose resistance
I will lift the weight for you.
I know that we've changed
But this remains consistent
I will lift the weight for you.
We pick at the scab. It bleeds and it bleeds.
Extending the healing to keep us contained.
A weak doppelganger, the bastard one
I'll leave you behind and continue on.
