lyrics

I sunk the caskets in the tears
To shrink the dusk of the mind.
I stole a glimpse of the fading warmth
That was keeping you alive.
It's not the word of a savior
Or the touch of a ghost.
The only true motive you needed:
To find a life of your own.

Going out on a limb.
Fallen state of grace.
Turn the tides and the tables
To put your faith in its place.
It's not the word of a savior
Or the touch of a ghost.
The only true motive you needed:
To find a life of your own.

Quiet is the altruistic heart that beats against the tide.
Forging bonds now, bathed in fire and welling in the eyes.
Instinct tells us to run from anything and anyone.
Born into captivity and intent on leaving.

Wherever conviction leads us into the unknown,
Whatever scourges of humanity we encounter,
Always keep in the front of your thoughts the dire truth of existence:
We were born to live and die alone--to become whole and timeless.
