Lyrics
Pleistocene
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.
We all can only take so much
Some more than others
And our individual tolerance
For stress, for loneliness
Is so subjective
But there's no tolerance at all
For hopelessness
Yes, you sure did your best to smile
When I dragged you once more to the isle
But all the serenity
Just served to augment your pain
You've always been intrigued
By death and the other side
You got yourself too close to the, to the abyss
And no, no one of the closest ones around you
Realized how your stare turned empty
How the flickering faded from your eyes
And emptiness invaded
Yes, you sure did your best to smile
When I dragged you once more to the isle
But all the serenity
Just served to augment your pain
And no one could tell the moment
When you disassembled
When your restless heart froze
And you sank below the ice
Eyes wide open
Your savior's soul is consumed by guilt
Your faith in him won't be saving you
Your savior's soul is consumed by guilt
Your faith in him won't be saving you
My whole life I've been searching
Digging deep
Turning over every stone
Questioning everything I know
Maybe there's no fire
Far behind these mountains
This light is something else
We are just atoms
Colliding, clashing
Melting, merging
Existing, spinning
Colliding, burning
Out
