Constant Lyrics - Emilie Autumn

You appear to me 

Like rain after a dry spell 

Like growth after a hard year 

Like life after death 

And it had been so long 

Yet my eye could discern less beauty 

In its object than my memory maintained 

So I whispered to myself, 

"All is but illusion. 

You did well to love him. 

It gave you songs to write, 

And kept you safe." 

And, with a sigh of relief, 

I let you go 

But you would not go 

For you came to me in the air about you 

And you walked with me 

From the other side of town 

And you touched me 

With your hands 

Behind your back 

So I whispered to myself, 

"All is but illusion. 

You were wise to look closer. 

You have lost nothing, 

Only exchanged a face for a soul. 

Whatever happens now, 

You have been constant 

And let no one say you never loved."
