Verse 1:
These words are therapy, floods of our memories
A hub when the weather heaves, conjure serenity
If we set it free, despite our brevity
It can shine heavenly, light up our destiny
Keep ya cheap thrills
Here we reap what we will, sheep keep still
In this serene field, instill how deep feels
We will, conquer these steep hills
And flee to escapism, to keep this brain ticking
In a place which is, a safe village
To convey my feelings, in the way of lyrics
But it’s a shame it is, a forte I’ve hidden
'cause I’ve been here, riddled with fear
Ever since my infancy years
And I paint riddles with trickles of tears
Intimate and clear, like a whisper to your ear

Chorus:
This sword and these talons
A performance of valence
A storm in a chalice
A cure for this madness

And anything can happen right?
When we satiate this appetite
Creativity and passion twine
Conveying what we have inside

Verse 2:
These words might free an inferno inside of me
A journal, a diary... purge my anxiety
A curse, a scourge, will certainly find me
It’s worse if I’m silently, hurting and hide the bleed
I need this catharsis
It keeps me from harm when I’m weeping the hardest
Art gives seeds for our garden
De-weed the margins, the freedom of an artist
On a precipice atop these, endless possibilities
Anything can pop free, whenever we can drop these
Festering horrors... Breathe
Expressions is an honour see
It’s a wonderful muse, I’m utterly bemused
Infused, at one with the music
And if something we produce touches just one of you
I’ll succumb to this wonderful view

Chorus:
This sword and these talons
A performance of valence
A storm in a chalice
A cure for this madness

And anything can happen right?
When we satiate this appetite
Creativity and passion twine
Conveying what we have inside

Outro:
And maybe it’s dumb
Labour of love
I slay with this tongue
He maims with the strums
Pain can be numbed
Fade into dust
The stage is a front
We remain playing us
