Track Lyrics
Death Nonetheless Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Trapped inside the trench of self, and crying out for help
But you were deaf to my death bells
[Pre-Chorus]
I learned life's insignificance
I know someday that I will be
A small white cross upon a pale blue dot
No one will even remember me
[Chorus]
But I admit that I have been
Fantasizing about a life where I'm not there
And nobody cares
[Verse 2]
Where there's no spring of water
No island in the sun
I am evanescеnt; a nothing to become
And therе's no higher power
Nobody left to love
I am evanescent; a nothing to become
[Pre-Chorus]
I let the sickness in my mind metastasise
With knife in hand
I saw life flash before my eyes
Sat in the cheap seats the whole time
I left it all behind
[Chorus]
Well, I admit that I have been
Fantasizing about a life where I'm not there
And everyone I ever loved felt not a single ounce of inconvenience
Nobody cares
[Outro]
Deaf to the beat of her drums, overarching
Death, nonetheless, is constantly marching
Deaf to the beat of her drums, overarching
Death, nonetheless, is constantly marching
Deaf to the beat of her drums, overarching
Death, nonetheless, is constantly marching
Deaf to the beat of her drums, overarching
Death, nonetheless, is constantly marching
Deaf to the beat of her drums, overarching
Death, nonetheless, is constantly marching
Deaf to the beat of her drums, overarching
Death, nonetheless, is constantly marching
Deaf to the beat of her drums, overarching
Death, nonetheless, is constantly marching
Her Wings Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A long, long time ago
When the sun hid behind the moon, I
Saw you like a flair in the cove
Tucked your name into my lacuna
I could have just waited to turn cold
But your love was a dawning inferno; blistering to touch
But still, I couldn't get enough
'Cause, there's warmth to be found in a fire
Thaw me on the funeral pyre
And hang me out to dry
Somewhere that I know she'll find me
[Chorus]
The sound of her wings
Beating rapid
Distantly, I hear her call my name
I drop everything
'Cause I'm enchanted
Desperately, I hear her call to me
Through it all
[Verse 2]
Brutally, I'll probably
Be this way forever
My life was always just a pretty lie
But she's a bitter truth that I
Can't help but gospelize
I'd follow her forever
Take my soul again
Take my soul again
[Chorus]
The sound of her wings
Beating rapid
Distantly, I hear her call my name
I drop everything
'Cause I'm enchanted
Distantly, I hear her call to me
Through it all
[Bridge]
Take my soul again
Take my soul again
Take my soul again
Take my soul again
Take me
[Outro]
Rip me up into your grasp
Take me where I can't come back
Roll the credits, fade to black
“Her wings”
“Her wings”
These New Dreams Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I sat still where no one could see me
Eden had no holes, yeah, it was easy to keep yourself preoccupied
I said I'd meet you over the border
We could sit there, safely, in order, and keep ourselves preoccupied
[Pre-Chorus]
There was a place that I had always wanted to go
And with your hand in mine, I thought I was there already
[Chorus]
But these new dreams
They keep me up
I'm ashamed of all the things I've felt
I'm trying to absolve myself
And I've been holding onto burdens
That weigh a ton and burn my flesh
I'm trying to absolve myself
[Verse 2]
It's true that
Every beautiful fruit is forbidden
You only showed your colors once bitten
So, how was I supposed to know?
Now I spend my time in the wreckage
Every day I sit and fantasize about a life
[Pre-Chorus]
In the place that I had always wanted to go
Empty-handed; I thought I was there already
[Chorus]
But these new dreams
They keep me up
I'm ashamed of all the things I've felt
I'm trying to absolve myself
And I've been holding onto burdens
That weigh a ton and burn my flesh
I'm trying to absolve myself
[Bridge]
But just like the moons of Mars, maybe we were doomed to fall apart (Fall apart)
Sometimes you have to kill your darlings, even if they come back to haunt your heart (Haunt your heart)
But just like the moons of Mars, maybe we were doomed to fall apart (To fall apart)
[Chorus]
These new dreams
They keep me up
I'm ashamed of all the things I've felt
I'm trying to absolve myself
And I've been holding onto burdens
That weigh a ton and burn my flesh
I'm trying to absolve myself
[Outro]
Maybe we were doomed to fall apart
I'm learning to absolve myself
