Lyrics

Innocence is a game that I have lost

I purify myself in the black of a velvet sky
I look behind myself in the back of an angel’s eyes

Mirror lies
Angel Eyes
A vision of despair 
Crystallized

I'm trying to keep in
Any sense of the frame that I have lost
At the door where I leave it
Tributary of pain I left to rot
Take me
Flowing under my skin I lock it up
Break me
Innocence is a game that I have lost

A vision of despair 
Crystallized

I know where I want to go but the body is too close
Take a piece of my history but its too late to repose
This time

I break the mirror when I die
An hourglass inside my mind
Turn it once to touch the sky
Scouring my life

I'm trying to keep in
Any sense of the frame that I have lost
At the door where I leave it
Tributary of pain I left to rot
Take me
Flowing under my skin I lock it up
Break me
Innocence is a game that I have lost
