As We Lay Dying 歌词

Five senses fade into black from my birth The greater that I fail in life The more I seem to realize There's nothing more than empty eyes That refuse my hand and watch As we lay dying Eight fingers sift through this mind without thumbs Tomorrow whispers fleeting lies Yesterday looks away and sighs While today stays a waste of time As I become what I am not As we lay dying Life shines through death Death shines through life Life shines through death Death shines through wasted life Running down the sunset while gasping for the next breath The thought always escaped me that I could be nothing more Back when I never bothered to persist when I faltered I always answered questions never asked before My breathing starts to wear thin as all this screaming within Silenced every heartbeat of dreams now gone astray In the nearest future lies the death of every virtue Instilled in hopes and smiles and trusts and purposes Of what was me As we crawl, as we try As we fall watch their eyes As we lay dying Nothing more to see here except the lack of me here Morning after morning of nothing left Struggle to find the words when the shock precedes hurt And always act as if I'd always stay alive Brother will believe in me when he relies on memory Father will believe I could not have gave much more Mother will recover from all she'll have to suffer This lifetime that I lived will be a gift no more As we crawl, as we try As we fall watch their eyes As we lay dying
