Moonface Minotaur Forgiving Knossos Lyrics

I have accepted it
I'm disconnected
I am a monster in a maze and in a way I'll live forever
I have accepted it
I am connected
My ugly head is like a mushroom on a tree of knotted muscle

I have accepted it
I am two halves and two hearts
One was on a hook while the other one just watched
And then they named me
They called me Asterion
But they were fools for naming me anything at all

I have accepted it
I'm disconnected
I am the body that you bury in the ground
I have accepted it
I am connected
I am alive in the ground like a bug

You'll never know me
None of you will ever see my face
No matter how much we long to face the unknown
And that's okay
Yeah, that's okay

I have taught myself to dance alone
I hear your parties and your music in the evening
I hear your laughter and your singing creeping over the walls
So I taught myself to dance alone
I am the star of these infinite halls
I am the owner of my lone owl feather
And that is all

And while I know I'm not the brightest fire
I'll never really understand why
You never sing any songs for me
You never bang on the door

There once was two different kinds of shadow
Dancing in a trance by the sea
And one was in disguise
Disguised as the other
They were attempting some kind of harmony

I was born into this
We were all born
You were born like a pearl
We were all born
We were all born
We were all born
From wall to wall, I am the star of these infinite halls

And while I know I'm not the brightest fire
I'll never really understand why
You never sing any songs for me
You never sing any songs for me

And while I know I'm not your only monster
I'll never really understand why
You never sing any songs about me
You never sing any songs about me
You never sing any songs about me
You never sing any songs about me
You never sing any songs about me
You never bang on the door

I have accepted it
And I forgive you
I am this monster in this maze and in a way I'll live forever
You'll never know me
None of you will ever see my face
No matter how much we long to face the unknown
And that's okay
Yeah, that's okay

We were all born
We were all born
You were born like a pearl
We were all born
