Lyrics
Words to Live By
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.
Cosmic pillars stand I'm my way
Shooting stars soon fall
Airtight blackness everywhere
You cry and I'm appalled
Vortex spins
Without fear
End of all
Is drawing near
Screaming shards rip into me
Others I can't feel
Lookin' 'round parallel corners
Distorting what is real
Hear your call
In the night
Right is wrong
And wrong is right
You talk in riddles I speak in rhyme
But yet the sun that never sets still ceases to shine
Reality fades in dreams of regret
I cannot remember but will never forget
The past is my present, the future's a lie
These are words to live by
