Lyrics for The Everlasting Gaze

You know I'm not dead You know I'm you know I'm not dead You know I'm not dead Now you know where I've been As you sleep torn I am Weighted down patiently Born of love You know I'm you know I'm not dead I'm just living in my head Forever waiting on the ways of your desire You always find your way And through it all into us all you move Forgotten touch, forbidden thought We can never have enough You know I'm not dead You know I'm, you know I'm not dead You know I'm not dead Found below the creatures scream Stranglehold a god machine Begging to tear us out Worn as hope You know I'm, you know I'm not dead I'm just the tears inside your head Forever waiting on the ways of your desire You always find a way And through it all, into us all you move Forgotten touch, forbidden thought We can never have enough You know I'm not dead We all want to hold in The Everlasting Gaze Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every c.o.g. The fickle fascination of an everlasting God You know I'm not dead I'm just living in my head Forever waiting, forever waiting a cruel death You know I'm not dead I'm just living for myself Forever waiting You know I'm not dead You know I'm not dead You know I'm not dead You know I'm not dead
