Magic That I Held You Prisoner - The Dillinger Escape Plan

Out of the vile

I can see you hold the grace infinite

Shine out the dark miracle

Felt you reaching out

Caught you as we were both falling down down

We were tricked and scared stiff

From the clock that ticks slow laughing

Take this gift for nothing don’t feel shame

Sordid salted eyes slow burning from outside

Closed swollen drop your shield

Start searching don’t look far

You had to be an angel stripped like Abel

Out to burn for everyone

But still there is a glowing unconsumed that grows new

All of the stars meant to shine

But when falling mesmerize

Don’t look away stop and stare to catch your reflection

And move on to the light

For you deserve

You don’t have to burn for anyone

You hold grace you can’t see

A self that is no self

No shell depicts a true projection

Caught you as we fell

Now shine out the light from the dark
