CHAPTER X: THE ART OF DYING Lyrics

A death of an ego

Make it painful and slow

Rid me of the evil

Hiding in my soul

You stripped me down to the bone

Revealed that I am cold and alone

This isn't something I can condone

I don't know my own comfort zone

Take me away

Nothing to say

My life is play

For your enjoyment

I'll end this one way

Remember my name

A waiting game

For my enjoyment

(Is this your grand design?)

And it's the death of an ego

It's time to go incognito

And it's the death of an ego

It's time to go incognito

Living is grieving

And still we always try to search for meaning

Ode to the aeons

I see the end is where we are convening

Striving for purpose

It's all important yet totally worthless

Life is a circus

Give me some purpose

Take me away

Nothing to say

My life is play

For your enjoyment

Take me away

Nothing to say

My life is play

For your enjoyment

("Listen

What are you doing?")

I thought that I would die

Before I saw an emerald light

I thought I'd said goodbye

Thought I'd given up on the fight

Yeah I thought that I would be dead by thirty

Didn't know if my life was still worthy

Yes I thought that I was truly broken

Have a lot of feelings left unspoken

"Sacrifice for the sake of the world

Breath from my lungs to polish all the pearls (let me go)

They say 'this is heaven'

No this is hell

Purgatory, whilst I'm lost in a shell"

"Sacrifice for the sake of the world

Breath from my lungs to polish all the pearls (no)

They say 'this is heaven'

No this is hell

Purgatory, whilst I'm lost in a shell"

Try to make my bones look pretty

Even though they'll turn to dust

Tell me does my heart still fit me?

Or is it guided by material lust?

("Weren't you listening the first time?

There is no glory here

What is this fascination with purpose?")

Make me

Heal me

Bless me

Awake me

Blame me

Shame me

Forsake me

Take me
