The Acrobat

Instruments strapped around my head
Lower me down
And lock the hatch
Water surrounds
It fades to black
Voices in the emptiness
They echo back

Hunched over and feeding
Exploding with energy
Life is just a roll of the dice
Sometimes you fight
Sometimes you hide

All of this is my cross to bear
Its weight so unconventional
Her and there, and everywhere
I'm so multidimensional

Alphabets and flickering lights
Where does a missing child subside
I hear your voice
The door in the trees
Crawl down through the roots
Where am I now?
Breathing ashes in the air
Stirring ashes on the ground
Life's just a roll of the dice
Sometimes you fight sometimes you hide

And I'm beside myself
Revealed in my hell
This ends tonight
A living sacrifice
All of this is my cross to bear
I'm so multidimensional

You'll never take me alive

Breathing ashes in the air
Stirring ashes on the ground
