Paroles Into embers Allegaeon

Into embers

As the sun at night and the stars in the day, the emptiness that surrounds me
Is truly amazing, a vision destroyed
Like the sound of a whisper descending in the distant darkness

Retreating from the grasp of the hands that burn the world
In the pale light of the daybreak I change again to stone
Thrust so deeply into the dirt that I can never be surfaced
Like a shipwreck fallen far beneath into the trenches of the deep

Dreams, like memories, lose their taste over time
And the bitterness quickly becomes
All you can remember, so fear not for after
The pain subsides, it will be like you never dreamt at all

I have no way to survive or place to belong while staying alive
Mysteries sealed in cages of steel, clattering far above where vision has failed

Living is the chaos of existence
Dismantling itself, instant by instant
There is no uncertainty or fear within
For living is what creates it

Confessing from behind a mask, insincerity spilling out over the edges
Where the mystery of being hangs, snakes from the mouths of the withered and aged
Like a flame broken into embers
A once unbearable heat has faded away
When the light goes out
The darkness is deeper than if it had never shone
As the light goes out
In this cavern so dark I hope to remain

Like a flame broken into embers
A once unbearable heat has faded away

Shapeless is the mold I'm encased in
Chased by a wraith in a hundred

Places I fear, this dream I once held dear is disappearing
The picture of a world of gray is getting clear
So many differences, interpretations taking place
The dream I once held dear is fading away

Now drifted so far into the distance
This ship of Theseus is sinking

Living is the chaos of existence
Dismantling itself, instant by instant
Living is the chaos of existence
Dismantling itself, instant by instant
There is no uncertainty or fear within
For living is what creates it
