Elissa - The Crüxshadows

Voicing back from frozen moments

The aching words I never spoke

Alone now in this cold abstraction

The sounds of yesterday transpose

And every pause within my conscience

I sadly offer up to you

So I must go before I falter

Before this longing skews the truth

And as I push against the waves

Know my heart is broken too

And though I travel far away

Part of me is with you still

And if it was my choice to make

Elissa I would stay with you

But tomorrow isn’t mine to give

And there’s something I must do

And if it was my life to live

Elissa I would never leave

I made a promise long ago

And now you must believe

That no matter where I travel

I can only love you more

Whatever course life takes

I can only love you more

I see your shadow like a ghost

Silent and away

Apologies make emptiness

The things I want to say

And this guilt it must be mine alone

But the fire’s distant glow

Is broken to a choice unmade

Though I want you, though I need you

And as I push against the waves

Know my heart is broken too

And though I travel far away

Aeneas lives inside of you

And if it was my choice to make

Elissa I would stay with you

But tomorrow isn’t mine to give

And there’s something yet to do

And if it was my life to live

Elissa I would never leave

I made a promise long ago

And now you must believe

That whatever course life takes

I can only love you more

I can only love you more

Strange light between the blinds

Dimly slipping paper thin

Whispers in my head imply

Some new understanding

Everyone has a purpose

Hidden within our lives

Something we were meant to do

Or feel before we die
