Dead And Gone

Dripping wet, I awake to face this hell Lash for lash, we beg forgiveness in a shallow grave Filling in with all that we let die Bloodstained hands in blind contempt As we watch the world go up in flames An uncaring race (Let it crash) To the edge of bliss (Let it die) Off the precipice Over and over till there's no longer When did we ever care (Write your status, fall in) What’s my recovery in a world that's past recovering? We suffer all (Let it crash) To reach some end (Let it die) Like Sisyphus Over and over till there's no longer (Life) Serenity dawns (Life) As the fires grow (Life) As the clouds bellow (Life) As a heart still pines I can't breathe With the weight of the end bearing down All things must come to pass The birds, these waves, our plans and mistakes All things must come to pass These roots, old scars, light up like your eyes All things must come to pass Your touch, this dream, lights up with the skies Life as ephemera Stars don’t shine they Flicker in the night, merely a specter of What once was, what could have been Even dead and gone, there’s beauty in the absence There’s beauty in the silence There’s beauty in you There’s beauty in me
