Lyrics
Embrace Extinction
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.
I became a slave to myself
I will not prevail
In your eyes and mine
I will always fail
Eyes deep with sorrow
Gaze upon me
Eyes filled with fear
Stare straight through my shell
Feast upon my worthless flesh
Drown down in my blood
Make use of my wasted bones
Comfort and warmth
Pressed against my cold hard skin
Send me forth into oblivion
Just for a moment
Let me rest
Just for a moment, let me rest
Clouds before me
Nothing in the distance
There are no shadows cast
Embrace extinction
Not a footprint left
Embrace extinction
My eyes are burning, dry and red
No tears left
None for you and none for me
I yearn to be beautiful
I died in the mirror
I died in my eyes
I died in the mirror
I died in vain
And what for, life or something better?
