Dissolve

Try and block it out

I pace around the space of this empty house

As I fell into a vision of a life well fulfilled

Attaining every dream and every thrill

But in the end, still void of meaning

(Block it out, block it out)

And when our bodies fall in the ground

Swallowed by the soil

With any truth in this life we’ve found

Decomposing in the landscape below

If I make it to the pearly gates

Or just dissolve into the darkness

All kings and thieves the same, fruitless in our toil

Swallowed by the soil

Now the good book by my bed

Has been replaced by monuments instead

And in the light, they hold together

Ever set of core beliefs, floating in my bedroom as I sleep

And there, I sink in the space between death and eternity

(Block it out, block it out)

(Block it out, block it out)

Get just as close as I can to a world that is sinking beneath our feet

Lavender guilt on the sides of our faces, reckless out in the streets

Time takes us all there in the end, we’ll find

Truth was just a matter of now

Not some dream in the clouds, not some life in the next

Maybe it’s just the love we invest while we’re here

So help me be here

And when our bodies fall in the ground

Swallowed by the soil

With any truth in this life we’ve found

Decomposing with our secrets below

If I make it to the pearly gates

Or just dissolve into the darkness

All pride and shame the same, fruitless in their toil

Swallowed by the soil
