Elysium
Is everyone chipping at your cordiality?
Elysium
You stand ice bound to the wind a casualty (about eternity)
Elysium
Is everyone nagging at your reason to believe? (reality)
Elysium
You stare down from a mound with such hostility

Listen to me, now wipe your eyes
Relax your hand and come inside
Lift back your head and swallow your pride
Don't be ashamed in me confide

Oh, I've seen you pretend
The happy go lucky, everything's funky
But in the end
Your manic obsession turns to depression

Elysium
Is everyone chipping at your cordiality?
Elysium
You stand ice bound to the wind a casualty

Stand back and watch the bright spark fly
To catch a glimpse don't blink an eye
The touchpaper wrapped around your soul has been lit
Let's go with the flow

Heaven (you left the earth but you want this soul)
I'm in heaven (everything in your heart and torment in your soul)
Heaven (eyeballs, register, overload, time to begin, time to begin)
Get back!

Elysium (such memory hurts me)
Is everyone tugging at your idea to be free? (let me be)
Elysium (with voices to betray me)
Do they cry out for your sensibility? (about eternity)
Elysium (a vision to betray)
Is everyone chipping at your cordiality? (reality)
Elysium (I'm feeling I'm hurt)
You stand ice bound to the wind a casualty

To the wind a casualty
To the wind a casualty
To the wind a casualty (it's ok, I don't mind)
To the wind a casualty (it's ok, I don't mind)
