lyrics

The sun, it whispers in my mind
Its pale glow reflects off abstract
Forms, as the wind grates against my skin
If I repent will it make me feel again?
I’m sick of living life with deadened nerves that can’t feel the dread within

Lulled to sleep by the leaves above my grave
I’m granted sight of life that was depraved
As they wither and writhe before my eyes
Blotting out my darkened sky

The weight of the world it breaks my bones, but I’ll carry it all
The weight of fear, weight of hate, weight of pain, weight of loss
The weight of self-disgust

Yet still I cling to life
Still I cling to this cold life

And I know now this is what I crave
A life dulled from the sadness and the pain
Caught in the aftermath of daydreams destined to come to pass
I feel this is the only life I’ll know
Bloodstains of a time so long ago

I feel so cold

Swallow the sun, swallow the sun, swallow the sun
I will swallow the sun to fill the void inside
Swallow the sun, swallow the sun, swallow the sun
I will swallow the sun to fill the void

Lulled to sleep by the leaves above my grave
I’m granted sight of a life that was depraved
As they wither and writhe before my eyes
Blotting out my darkened sky

Oh, I know now this is what I crave
A life dulled from the sadness and the pain
Caught in the aftermath of daydreams destined to come to pass

Collapse from the weight, these dreams compress me
My mind is so weary and my words depress me
Clawing at the walls, they are trapped inside me
My legs feel so heavy, they refuse to move me
Collapse from the weight
