Rebel Nightshade - Soft Guillotine Lyrics

[Intro]
Breathing in the static of my mind
Through crystalline walls that bind
Time dissolves like sugar in the rain
While mercury flows through my veins

[Verse 1]
Doctor says I've built a fortress here
Layer by layer, year by year
Wrapped in shadows spun from golden thread
Words unsaid still echo in my head
The walls are crumbling but I hold on tight
To patterns carved in black and white

[Chorus]
Soft guillotine, cut me clean
Through the fog and smoky dreams
Soft guillotine, set me free
From the person I used to be
(From the person I used to be)

[Verse 2]
Kaleidoscope fragments in my brain
Dancing patterns, cosmic rain
Lucy showed me colors in the dark
Now I'm falling, falling apart
But maybe breaking's what I need to do
To let the light come bleeding through

[Bridge]
Float downstream on waves of sound
While my ego hits the ground
Ancient wisdom in a modern pill
Dissolving everything until
I'm nothing but a whisper in the wind
Ready to begin again

[Verse 3]
The city hums its mechanical song
While I drift where I belong
Between the spaces of what's real and not
In this garden that I've got
Of paper flowers and electric trees
Growing wild inside of me

[Chorus]
Soft guillotine, cut me clean
Through the fog and smoky dreams
Soft guillotine, set me free
From the person I used to be
(From the person I used to be)

[Outro]
Let the blade fall soft and slow
Through the shadows down below
Till nothing's left but golden light
And everything is crystal bright
Everything is crystal bright
Everything is alright
