Lyrics
My Life.
Minuscule islands in the midst of a black sea
lost under an empty sky
covered by uniform waters
The tireless whisper stopped
angst erupted.
silence is.
There will be no dawn.
Nothing exists anymore
but this dream of death exists
to not know anything anymore
to not know the weight of my body
but I live
And I know
I will never stop knowing
What If I fall?
What If I fall apart?
It takes the wind from my lungs
and pulls me under
the waves over take me again
and I can’t be
I find my breath
but it’s not me
I stand at last
but sink below
Where is my home?
I wander on
but the spirit leaves me
I am passing on
what have I become
I sink below
where do I belong
I am passing on
Where is the death
that I have won
I sink below
and in the ocean
I find a home
Waves break
it’s the tension that holds
in all of our hearts
what if I fall?
Waves break
it’s the tension that holds
in all of our hearts
What If I fall apart?
Waves break
(we fall apart)
It’s the tension that holds
(in all of our hearts)
what if I fall
Waves break
(we break apart)
It’s the tension that holds
(in all of our hearts)
What if i fall apart?
