lyrics

I once tried to show you the end of man
Just to let you see that we will never be the same again
I truly thought I found forever
In this fate-less endeavour

I realised it took the thought of death just to feel alive
I have so much to learn from your demise

In the evening of life
In the rays of the winter moon
I came to appreciate
This truth and it comes with gloom
That the sight of the stars is all that still makes me dream
It tore me apart

It felt so good to dream
I was deluded by grandeur
Illusions of my own end eluded by my contentions and corroded by our reality

I used to dream of painting and then I'd paint my dream
But now that all my mind's eye can see is what could have been what must not ever be

Your mind it paints a picture, to your soul there's a disconnect
Your words they speak of fractures and regret
But as the sun arose, as I distilled my own existence
I realised that I am I and I wish I wasn't
I scrape the deepest depths of this abyss we deem existence
This is why I sought his words, what are we if not resistance?
I saw that thought arise, the notion of revolution
It materialised before my longing eyes

Am I still human?
Or have I transcended this mortality?

You died because you searched for happiness at the risk of finding the void
So delve, delve into the void

Solid release from a criminally underrated band. The Sea Starts Here is easily my favorite song and I can listen to it all day just for those monstrous vocals. Steven
