Aegis

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The days are catchin' up to me My unconscious fear unbound Is it time to tailor fit the notion That come Sunday I'm in the ground? [Verse 2] The obelisk fumes have occupied Emphatically austere A smelter pile made by the debt collector [Pre-Chorus] Where the children should be seen, not heard Even if there is no way back home [Chorus] I'm not running away I'm not running away I'm not running away I'm not runnin' away [Verse 3] Can you hear him saber rattlin' With bones I've left behind? Obloquy is the bulwark of his implants Am I your son or just a clone? [Verse 4] Dasehra you were sworn to be A window to my night My subterfuge, just branches to the mandrake [Pre-Chorus] Where the children should be seen, not heard Even if there is no way back home [Chorus] I'm not runnin' away I'm not running away I'm not running away I'm not runnin' away [Bridge] Under the aegis of cognition I am dead, I will escape Engrammic marks of ligature I am dead, I will escape Under the aegis of cognition I am dead, I will escape Engrammic marks of ligature Am I dead? Will I escape? [Chorus] I'm not running away I'm not running away I'm not runnin' away I'm not runnin' away I'm not runnin' away (Am I runnin' away?) I'm not running away (Am I running away?) I'm not running away (Am I running away?) I'm not running away (I am running away)
