lyrics

I hear his heavy breathing just outside the door
Like an old friend I let him in
Drooping eyes and soothing touch
Loyal, never one to judge

(Chorus)
He never really means to cause hurt
Wrapped in velvet just to embrace
Across clear skies the fog descends
Engulfed the life in this place

Every morning when I wake up I throw him a bone
Always thankful in return
So little needed to placate him
Stares down the lies left within

Around and around the story plot goes
Ouroboros catching his tail
The emperor’s managed to find his old clothes
The new ones form part of the veil
