Lyrics
Anodyne Sea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
None of this matters, none of these words. Common and silent we will die in this world.
We've only spoken to those who agree, and without them we've fallen on deaf ears.
Stand on conviction and you will walk alone.
For once I have stood (I have stood), no one will know,
but alone I was born and alone we must go.
In my convictions I've found my own grave, but amongst the dead we all fade away.
Yeah...
Yet solitude is better than a life not worthy of reaction.
There is nothing to lose (nothing). So we stand alone or join those who follow in misery.
In my convictions I've found my own grave, but amongst the dead we all fade away.
In my convictions I've found my own grave, but amongst the dead we all fade away.
Fade away...
Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone.
A voice is only a noise without someone to hear,
and without a crowd to feed that noise grows silent.
For once I have stood, no one will know, but alone I was born and alone we must go.
Fading back into an anodyne sea, to drown with all who've gone before me.
Yeah... We must go.
In my convictions I've found my own grave (my own grave),
but amongst the dead we all fade away. Yeah...
In my convictions (convictions), I've found my own grave,
but amongst the dead we all fade away.
Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone. Yeah...
Fading back into an anodyne sea, to drown with all who've gone before me.
Fading back... fading. Fading back into an anodyne sea.
Fading back... fading. Fading back... fading away.
