Lyrics
As We Lay Dying
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.
Five senses fade into black from my birth
The greater that I fail in life
The more I seem to realize
There's nothing more than empty eyes
That refuse my hand and watch
As we lay dying
Eight fingers sift through this mind without thumbs
Tomorrow whispers fleeting lies
Yesterday looks away and sighs
While today stays a waste of time
As I become what I am not
As we lay dying
Life shines through death
Death shines through life
Life shines through death
Death shines through wasted life
Running down the sunset while gasping for the next breath
The thought always escaped me that I could be nothing more
Back when I never bothered to persist when I faltered
I always answered questions never asked before
My breathing starts to wear thin as all this screaming within
Silenced every heartbeat of dreams now gone astray
In the nearest future lies the death of every virtue
Instilled in hopes and smiles and trusts and purposes
Of what was me
As we crawl, as we try
As we fall watch their eyes
As we lay dying
Nothing more to see here except the lack of me here
Morning after morning of nothing left
Struggle to find the words when the shock precedes hurt
And always act as if I'd always stay alive
Brother will believe in me when he relies on memory
Father will believe I could not have gave much more
Mother will recover from all she'll have to suffer
This lifetime that I lived will be a gift no more
As we crawl, as we try
As we fall watch their eyes
As we lay dying
