The Everlasting Gaze

You know I'm not dead

Now you know where I've been
As you sleep
Torn I am
Weighted down
Patiently
Born of love

You know I'm
You know I'm not dead
I'm just living in my head
Forever waiting
On the way of your desire
You always find a way
And through it all
Into us all, you move
Forgotten touch, forbidden thought
We can never have enough

You know I'm not dead

Found below
The creatures scream
Stranglehold
A God Machine
Begging to
Tear us out
Worn as hope

You know I'm
You know I'm not dead
I'm just the tears inside your head
Forever waiting
On the ways of your desire
You always find a way
And through it all
Into us all, you move
Forgotten touch, forbidden thought
We can never have enough
You know I'm not dead

We all want to hold in the everlasting gaze
Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway
But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every C.O.G.
The fickle fascination of an everlasting God

You know I'm not dead
I'm just living in my head
Forever waiting
Forever waiting on cruel death
You know I'm not dead
I'm just living for myself
Forever waiting

You know I'm not dead
