Lyrics
The Great Distance
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.
A noise quieter than a dying breath
Mirrors on the blank side of the paper
A need to control this suicide
Something I'll never quite understand
What would heal these holes
Marks left by the feeding needle
Tonight the bullets turn into keys
And we escape
This was the day of losing control
A sea of silence is where I go
Stuck somewhere between a blink and a tear
And the great distance
What would heal these holes
Marks left by the feeding needle
Tonight the bullets turn into keys
And we escape
Maybe it was just a ghost of a voice
I thought I once heard
Maybe nothing of the like
Maybe it was just a memory
I thought I saw creeping by
Maybe nothing
What would heal these holes
Marks left by the feeding needle
Tonight the bullets turn into keys
And we escape
"Better to die, and sleep
The never waking sleep, than linger on,
And dare to live, when the soul's life is gone"
