This Ascension - Swandive

Distant, yet figurative
I call you once or twice
You come to great me
caroling advice
So nice to meet you
tell me your name
I find you quite beautiful
telaute
so nice to meet you
tell me your name
you seem quite familiar
looking at your face

Driven, yet frozen
tempting is the afterlife
driven, yet frozen
tempted by what life might be like
driven, yet frozen
caught between
the devil & what i know
driven, yet frozen
spirals down
the crowd gathers below

Forging ideas
bringing demise
I can't wait forever
clinging to life
So nice to meet you
tell me your name
I find you quite beautiful
telaute
so nice to meet you
tell me your name
you seem quite familiar
looking at your face

Driven, yet frozen
tempting is the afterlife
driven, yet frozen
tempted by what life might be like

Footsteps gingerly
making way up the stairs
left hand, stair rail
right hand, clutching empty air
Oh god, it's too late
dialog sited from somewhere

driven, yet frozen
caught between
the devil & what i know
driven, yet frozen
spirals down
the crowd gathers below
