The Dillinger Escape Plan
Magic That I Held You Prisoner

[Verse 1]
Out of the vile, I can see you hold the grace infinite
Shine out the dark miracle
Felt you reaching out
Caught you as we were both falling down, down

[Verse 2]
We were tricked and scared stiff
From the clock that ticks slow laughing
Take this gift for nothing don’t feel shame
Sordid salted eyes slow burning from outside
Closed swollen drop your shield
Start searching don’t look far

[Pre-Chorus]
You had to be an angel stripped like Abel
Caught to burn for everyone
But still there is a glowing unconsumed that grows new

[Chorus]
All of the stars to shine but when falling mesmerize
Don’t look away, stop and stare to catch your reflection
And move on to the light for you deserve
You don’t have to burn for anyone

[Verse 3]
You hold grace you can’t see
A self that is no self, no shell depicts a true projection
Caught you as we fell, now shine out the light from the dark
