effluvia 3. esper

What did you feel in the pouring rain?
What do you see between flashes of pain?
What did you hear when they stopped calling your name?
What did you think when everyone bled the same?
What are you now but a hurt, lonesome girl?
What did you do when light tore through your world?

Hoofbeats breaking silence
Thunder across the miles

So bring the storm, bring the storm down
From the weeping smoky skies
So bring the storm, bring the storm down
From the shadows in the corners of your eyes

There's a hollowness in me
And I know you feel it too
There's a screaming ringing out your steel
We speak without words for this world's all too real

Esper, I need you now
You're the only piece of me
That's more than a phantom limb

The man in blue, he came for you
To break you and remake you in his image
Child, born of ash, born from the blaze

So the sun's slipping down
And away from the face
Of the world we ride today

And the stars are above
Shedding their light
Every which way, but not here.
