Unadorned and unabashedly, far too willing to me, it seems to be.
You face the great unknown, counting days and it shows.
Even on the eve of your departure, I feel like a vulture, I pick, I chew, I’ll not let you alone.
We all can see the fall.
We try to fight it but it’s pure frustration.
Ashes to ashes, this we are.
We all must face our death some day.
Dust to dust we become.
We face these things our own way.
Content to accept and not to dwell, never learned that lesson very well.
What is, and what’s to be, an ever better man than me.
Even though you’ve instilled all your wisdom, I just can’t help but go numb, without your eyes to guide me, I can’t see.
We all can see the fall.
We try to fight it but it’s pure frustration.
Ashes to ashes, this we are.
We all must face our death some day.
Dust to dust we become.
We face these things our own way.
Your gaze, weighs heavy on hand.
It stays as steady as the sands.
Days past, I can recall the last.
At least in there I'll make things last.
Heaven, an idea I’d like to trust.
I hold on to our lives instead.
Yeah man, one day I’ll bite the dust.
I pray I’m remembered, as just, just.
Just.
No time
No escape
No lies
Nothing left to say
No time
No escape
No lies
Nothing left to say.
If I had one thing left to say, I’d hold it inside, till it’s killing me.
If I had just one thing to say.
Even with your self embraced destruction.
I simply cannot function. these angry tears well up until they drip.
We all can see the fall.
We try to fight it but it’s pure frustration.
Ashes to ashes, this we are.
We all must face our death some day.
Wake Up! wake up!
