Pleistocene

(álbum: Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic - 2020)

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 beyond those mountains
This light is something else
We are just atoms

Colliding, clashing
Melting, merging
Existing, spinning
Colliding, burning
Out
