lyrics

How do you define the qualities of life?
Graveyard poet
The promises of a life
What promises of life
Oh, a life lived at its fullest
One too close to the sun
Oh, the door of death has opened

In an ivory tower
Learning our lessons
Right and wrong

It is not choice or freedom
But the dependence that keeps you
Keeps you trapped between planes

It’s not your breathe any longer
But another’s futile efforts to revive
What’s already gone
The light in your eyes
The life in your eyes
The force of it more traumatizing
Than the realization that your life is no longer yours
Holding on until your fingers go numb

It is not choice or freedom
But the dependence that keeps you
Keeps you trapped between planes
Nothings left of you to stay, as you were
To lie
Holding on to fading memories
Don’t hold the future away

It’s not your breathe any longer
But another’s futile efforts to revive
What’s already gone
The light in your eyes
The life in your eyes
The force of it more traumatizing
Than the realization that your life is no longer yours
Holding on until your fingers go numb

It’s getting darker chamber by chamber
Passed souls come to visit
Preparing you to cross over

While dying for time
Left with voids in the head, in life, in the bed
Parts of ourselves unlearned
No longer tired
At once free
