Lyrics for Elysian Woes

What's left when the morning comes Is the memory of a future When the web, when my plight is done There is nothing left to hold onto There were friends waiting at my door They have gone now, for the year is new I stuck by my word, and when the rains came Made it true and pure to dissolve the hurt Are we nursing destruction? Pursuing a dream we once had Was it our intention to follow this road 'til the end Even if the end is a world of sorrow? There is, there's a bond between us Even if it's frayed, it's unbreakable So I come, come for you always And I welcome pain, for a second belonging somewhere There were times when I lost my way With hope pouring from my soul A shelter from the sun Don't want to bare my scars for you Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh Don't want to bare my scars for you Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh Don't want to bare my scars for you
