lyrics

Was there ever a pure day
Filled with wonder and empty of shame
When desire embraced us all
And we didn’t shun its call.

Received wonder forked its tale
Hollow thunder has taken its place
Desire disgraced us all
And now the outside overwhelms
And no one can tell me if the journey’s ended.
They only try and sell me ideals patched and mended.

It’s like they say you run to the light after you die
To give away the solitude and quiet.
To lose the darkness is to lose your life.

You once told me I had my chance
The steps you showed me but I wouldn’t dance
I let the quiet embrace me
That’s how I found the way to flee
But now they’re closing in hungry and distracted
Trying to take from me the silence I’ve extracted.

It’s like they say you run to the light after you die
To give away the solitude and quiet.
To lose the darkness is to lose your life.
