Anima

Anima, break me
Defend me before the storm –
Anima, recover me
Defend me before the storm
Envelopes me

For my heart is tired
Tired from trying
Freeing the soul
From all of this dying
From shipwrecks and tides
And counterfeit smiles
Until you, my anima dies

Anima, don't forsake me
Breathe life into me
Console me so I don't turn blind
Not to fade as Saturn passes by

For my heart is tired
Tired from trying
Freeing the soul
From all of this dying
From shipwrecks and tides
And counterfeit smiles
'Til you, my anima dies

(Anima!) I kiss the lights
My co-creator in silence
It's the darkling grace
Of this spectral bride within

I lie awake with the rustlings
In the attic of my mind
The harrowing trauma
Paints the shadow that walks beside me

Oh, anima, you're the wind in my sail
And the heartbreak in my smile
You're the tender whisper as I die

For my heart is tired
Tired from trying
Freeing the soul
From all of this dying
From shipwrecks and tides
And counterfeit smiles
'Til you, my anima dies

Anima, watch over me
