Lyrics
Nigredo
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.
Our lives lead to nowhere, we're counting time
Then grasping for each other, as we're crushed beneath the tide
No rising from the ashes, your final flight
Was a plunge into Nigredo's endless night
Suffocate
The squeezing hands of fate
Our lives can't be replaced
Searching for the reasons we were thrown into the world
Always waiting, but out of time
I wish that you believed that, just as you hit the brink
Of total despair, you'd find your way
Drifting out of phase
The squeezing hands of fate
I know you think you've found some certainty
But you know we always learn the hard way
If you get lucky and you're last to leave
You'll watch the burning out of everything
Some stories end and nothing more
A quiet aching we endure
We're all just faces and nothing more
So take the ashes, I'm headed out
Have you ever seen someone wasting away?
First by choice, then after it's too late
They decide that they want to come back to life
But they're drowning in a sea so endless
You see them come up for air then go under forever
The squeezing hands of fate
Our lives can't be replaced
