Circle VIII Songtext
von The Defaced

Down
The spiral stairs
One way, down
I see the light
I see the light but the bulb is gone
Hesitate and grab the handle

I left a trail of grief
I left a pile of regrets
Longing to be seen
Now fill me with an urge to redeem

At the bottom of the stairs
Circle eight my dream is gone
What′s there to hold me back?
Dream figure show the light
In a spiral of contempt
What I feel I can't prevent
You′re the one holding me back
Scar figure cast aside


A slow descent
No way back
I see my fate
I see my fate but the exit is blocked
Convince me now
Or let me wander

I left a trail of grief
I left a pile of regrets
Longing to be seen
Now fill me with an urge to redeem

At the bottom of the stairs
Circle eight my dream is gone
What's there to hold me back?
Dream figure show the light
In a spiral of contempt
What I feel I can't prevent
You′re the one holding me back
Scar figure cast aside

The low ceiling′s pushing me down
But the spiral stairs ends here
The hidden meaning's pushing me down
And so the spiral stairs ends


At the bottom of the stairs
Circle eight my dream is gone
What′s there to hold me back?
Dream figure show the light
In a spiral of contempt
What I feel I can't prevent
You′re the one holding me back
Scar figure cast aside

Cast aside
