Fear, fear drowns the mind In my kingdom, in my refuge Within this empty room Where I can speak to you A last breath for the earthly In empty space Distant voices chant softly It's beginning to look like a pale facade Another cry for existence Stands to be ignored But it's a pale facade It's a pale facade Hands stretching toward the last day beneath the sun Reaching paradox/in time we will unmake ourselves It's a pale facade Secure in your right to remain Breathing the air you did not earn Like ants coveting Strong sense of dependence No will of its own Walk for centuries to realize all that's left is a fading image Words like fleeting omniscience Cloaked in subtle pain No answer for those needing relief from existence Oh the sight! Oh can it be? I've longed to see that which truly Owns the light A calming wave of incandescent grace Spreads its rot It's a pale facade Hands stretching toward the last day beneath the sun Reaching paradox/in time we will unmake ourselves It's a pale facade Secure in your right to remain Breathing the air you did not earn When the sun doesn't rise And the hope of light fades Rest these eyes a while I'll see your face
