Seven Eights Lyrics


Lyrics: Owain Emslie

When I’m soaring above reality

Enveloped in my inward

Directed screaming passion

I want you within me

When I’m smothered in my torment

I’ve locked my self away, there’s nothing I can confront

I need your warm safety

When the world is loving me

And I’m feeding it vitality

I want you close beside me

To soak the glow

and radiate

When you complete the feeling

I’m everything I need to be.

For now is the only the present

The darkness spirals in at me

I coil up in despair

You give me all your distraction

But still my fears remain

You can not save me from myself

You can only delay

The obstacle to my demise

Will be removed in time

Reaching in myself

I find nothing tangible

It’s now that I know

You and I will die alone
