Nepenthe Lyrics

That which chases away sorrow

Dilutes the wine that you all swallow

You beg for more but it's all gone

You wait around for much too long

But time can't fill an empty bottle

Forget the pain and grief

Retain only good memories

Count the days they're gone

Will they ever return to you

You plead your case to Gods

Offer up your soul

What happens when your soul is gone

What else could they want

What have you left to give

What have they left to take

There are some things in life

You simply can't escape

Without a little something

Just to put your mind at ease

That fleeting feeling that I chase

Cannot be worth all the ache

That it puts you through

My pain is gone, but what of you

Nepenthe came and washed away

The agonizing memories

But took with it a part of me, forever

That which chases away sorrow

You'll be back here for more tomorrow

But your demand drains my supply

So next time I just might deny

That I even had a bottle

The well is getting dry

And it may never rain again

If only from your eyes

When you remember all the pain again

Did you not realize

That all good things will fade with time

Even the highest highs

The lows will take their place with pride

So plead your case to Gods

Offer up your soul

What happens when your soul is gone

What else could they want

What have you left to give

What is there left that they could take

There are some things in life

You simply can't escape

Without a little something

Just to put your mind at ease

That fleeting feeling that I chase

Cannot be worth all the ache

That it puts you through

My pain is gone, but what of you

Nepenthe came and washed away

The agonizing memories

But took with it a part of me, forever

You beg for more, but it's all gone

You wait around for much too long

The bottle's empty now

And there won't be any more

I told you, once it's gone

Time cannot bring it back to you all

You've lost it all

Everything you never had
