Lyrics:
Artcore
(words & music by Eike Moriz)
A hundred times around the sun, I’ve turned in restless sleep
Ladyfingers painting circles in the dust I keep.
Cracked reflections in the mirror, pieces fall away,
Every day, I dig a little deeper, until I fade away.
Phoenix burning under my skin - Rise again to begin
We dig out our only-ness - to bear our loneliness
Together we fly, seek the obscure and find something pure:
Artcore, artcore
Glitter in the shadows, paper masks from yesterday -
I carve my name into the silence as I walk away.
Sparks in hidden corners, secrets leak like light -
Chasing every color until wrong and right ignite.
Phoenix burning under my skin - Rise again to begin
We dig out our only-ness - to bear our loneliness
Together we cry, seek the obscure and find something pure:
Artcore, artcore
Oh, from the shadows we create and find understanding
Every flaw, a brushstroke on my canvas expanding
Oh, shattered but alive - look inside, you’ll see
We are artcore, we are free!
Oh, we dig out our only-ness - to bear our loneliness
Together we fly, seek the obscure and find something pure:
Artcore, artcore - We break, we soar a hundred times around the sun -
Now we know the core.
