"Elysium" lyrics - INVENT ANIMATE

[Intro:]
"We know something is on your mind, would you care to open up?
At least share something for us to work with
I know it's weighing you down
Don't be scared, it's going to be just fine
He will meet you in the Elysian Fields"

I see the past drifting by
Winds traveled darker
Now bright before my eyes
So I drown my surroundings and let it consume me
I was blind to blood, so I turned away
Stuck behind a veil
Locked in vacant rooms reserved for grief

[Pre-Chorus:]
In these empty halls I sit
Where the silence is so loud
Wonder if I am to go
Leave it to the ones alive
I'm not ready to believe it
Feel astray, will you wait for me?

[Chorus:]
Not used to letting go
And it's harder now
Left to feel alone
But I still feel your ghost
Can I let it go?
Was I lost somehow?
Never felt your love
When my eyes were shut

[Post-Chorus:]
I was blind to blood, so I turned away
You were left in the cold
(The cold)

An absence persistent
In shades astray, we decay
Blurred by the distance
Twelve years of loss rained down today
What I lost
What I lost
Standing in the plains of gods
Hold still for me

[Pre-Chorus:]
I see the past drifting by
Winds traveled darker
Now bright before my eyes
So I let it consume me

[Chorus:]
Not used to letting go
And it's harder now
Left to feel alone
But I still feel your ghost
Can I let it go?
Was I lost somehow?
Never felt your love
When my eyes were shut

[Outro:]
What I lost was blind to me
How could your ascension just slip my mind?
I knew you were gone but couldn't feel nor find
Vacant rooms now filled with grief
Wait for me deep in the space between
