lyrics

Do you see a survivor?
Do you see redemption’s end,
Being here in a violent world making a violent man?

Do you covet an angel?
Do you reach with seeking hands?
Do you hear a failure now whisper out another failed demand?
Refrain: I am next to your wishes,
I am close to your fears.
I am the one that is here.

Not me a freak of nature.
Not me a grand mistake.
Not me when a vision of neglected desire is coming back to shake the world
awake.

So I bear peculiar words.
So I spread my arms out like wings.
So I dress in beauty, and echo back every time beauty sings.
Refrain: I am the pale surrender.
I am the pale contender.
I am the one you see.

Come answer dark with refusal.
Come see a promise kept.
Come see the empty left hand, when nothing’s all that you got left.

Watch the fire consume it
And cry a savage verse.
Watch the better angels of nature take a dive for the earth.
Refrain: I am the view from afar.
I am the living bazaar.
Je suis le second avenement.
