lyrics

My mind is turned upside down
And my will is falling apart
And my soul is faking it

My head with secrets that will never be found
My heart is an abundance of hope stuck in me like glass shards
And I' m living with

My hands they shake
My legs they tremble
Oh Im a fool who has played along

My friends and I are changing
My family and i dislike
Oh I'm not right and I'm every bit wrong

It's the little drips and ounces
It's the most minut of pains
I'm annoyed and disgusted

This water has turned to rust
And my tongue admires the taste of it

This meat has rotted in scene
And my throat's already swallowed a bit

I'm so far gone lost I've no fear, oh dear god
Would you save me from all of my sins, I've been away for too long
Would you carry me gone with your wings I've been away for too long
Would you save me from all of my sins, I've been away for too long

And now I'm alive, I'm a pest to myself
I'll wake, indulge, and enjoy humanity
Every day I'll breathe, eat, and sleep until

(Now) I'm dead when ill rot beneath the surface until
Destruction covers lands and oceans and oceans and lands are covered by destruction
And our most beloved, who have grown generations down will
Receive, perceive, and hang with judgement

But where I'll be may I hope it be where we used to dwell:

Where we used to dwell with never-changing green grass and blue skies
Where we used to dwell with always-felt and forever-felt clean air
Where we used to dwell without suffering
May I hope it be there

And right now ill stand
I just keep on standing
Keep me up oh god
Keep me up oh god
(Repeat x4)

It is my own two hands and my own two eyes
It is my own two ears and my own two feet
With the breath in my lungs
And the thoughts in my head
That have me committed
With morals which created immorality
It is thoroughly expected of us
It is not however expected with Him

But with the right guide and the right light
I may be meant for more
And i could have the change in heart
And i could have the change in life

And if you could be given all of the joys in the world,
And all the satisfaction that came nowhere in life,
Why wouldn't you take it?

I am prey to failure and disappointing success
But I want my life to be effective to others
I am clearly a tragic kind surrounded by so much desire
I am clearly a hopeless kind covered with so much filth

So grieve for the dead and the lost
But remember where they may be

For may I hope in days to come i may be where lost loved ones dwell

Where they dwell with constant internal joy
Where they dwell in never-distant satisfaction
Where they dwell without suffering
May I hope it be there

END
