lengsel - opaque lyrics

[words: john robert, music: john robert and lengsel]

i know it is dark outside
but i bear not to face it
alone
i compose a picture within a golden frame
-black picturesque

my eyes dance in a glassy stare
to the distant sound of musical
silence
but somehow they lower in a pool
-all wet and obscure

and i see this face
as a vivid picture of my very own self
and the eyes
they are watching me
and so am i

inside out, whatever
i cannot grasp this
this duplicity
this lack of self-devotion
this classical cliche of a song
