Lyrics
AVALANCHE (by Elena Powell)
Ariadne I don't know you well
I am in the cafe and you're in a private hell
Sometimes smiling, sometimes crying,
I don't know what to say
You whisper of a poison, that you can't get clean
The television spies on you, what can I believe?
You are thinner by the hour
And then I hear you say
"I'd better leave now 'cause you're drawing me in
Like a honeybee to a hive
Better leave now, one tumbling stone
Starts an avalanche in my mind"
Ariadne can I find you a thread
For the labyrinth of voices in your head
For the simple end of this tangled web
You should not have to say
"I'd better leave now 'cause you're drawing me in
Like lightning to a pine
Better leave now, one tumbling stone
Starts an avalanche in my mind"
Avalanche, avalanche, avalanche
