Matt Carpanini - I See a Friend Lyrics

Slowly migrating across the damp paving
To the dark
Where lights sear your eyes
And rumbling sticks in your heart
Deafened by this
Condemned to be lost in the crowd
Chance of a wish
Or else clinging to sanity's shroud

I see a friend
Maybe that's true
I see the "if and when" overcome you
Shield and defend
I see the root
Holding back all desire
Because what's the use?

Diamond like dreams dropping solid gold
Inside your head
Crumble like dust underfoot
As she lies on your bed
Glimpse of a sword
Dripping vermilion slow
Cutting through destiny
Fate's desire staining the snow

I see a friend
Maybe that's true
I see the "if and when" overcome you
Shield and defend
I see the root
Holding back all desire
Because what's the use?
I see a friend
Maybe that's true
I see the "if and when" overcoming you
Shield and defend
I see a friend
