lyrics

I’ve seen the tears turn into years
and more and more besides
I’ve watched the past become a mask
I’ve used to shade my eyes

And when the summer turned to fall
my life began to fade
I loosed the reins, the slow refrains,
the matter that I made

My world is sheltered by the swelter
of feelings lost in the tide
Of shipwrecked seas, the slow disease,
the meeting of the minds

But I’ll escape these withered traits
and shed another skin
No matter when I’ll survive again
another life will begin

This shattered lifeline, coarse and refined
threads a miracle mile
Beyond the grave, I risk a wave
the window breaks a smile

And who will meet me, who will greet me?
Who will I walk beside?
Will the course I’ve left divorce
the mask from my eyes?

I’ll leave it all, I’ve seen the fall,
the order has been paid
You’ll know me when I no longer spend
the matter that I made

And when I take the real from fake
no need to be dismayed
I’ll wait until I empty my fill
of the matter I have made
