Inherit The Earth
(专辑: Everything Was Sound - 2016)
After the
fire, after the
rain After the
sacred kissed the
profane When you came and left again Such a
captivating pain After that night I
left my comfort To find where your body lies I'd wander upon this grave then fall... I'd fall inside I

clearing for that spark Hands sifted through the
ash Knowing what we felt was real But some delusions never pass. So I
took shelter in the
woods With the
naked shaking trees: Deciduous, fraternal twins We're both wilted, stem and leaf Then the
mist turned sleet into snow; My senses shook numb, I've nothing to show But a

ask myself: What's the
weight of my life on the

earth, we inherit the
war I
inhabit the
wound, I
dwell in the
harm Oh how far we fall: We're casualties of time Oh how far we fall: Begin to forgive existence Retreat back from reaching trees When a
frigid shadow climbs inside of me That specter of recompense It's a
sound I've heard ever since Amidst the
endless mortal strife And the
constantly dying light The
truth we felt from the
start: "How can I
hold myself together when everything falls apart?" We inherit the
earth, we inherit the
war I
inhabit the
wound, I
dwell in the
harm Oh how far we fall: We're casualties of time Oh how far we fall: Forgive existence I
wandered upon the
alter of human intervention An exhibition of erudition Find me here, Son of Man. How far we fall...
