Try and block it out
I pace around the space of this empty house
As I fell into a vision of a life well fulfilled
Attaining every dream and every thrill
But in the end still void of meaning
Block it out
Block it out
And when our bodies fall in the ground,
Swallowed by the soil
With any truth in this life we've found,
Decomposing in the landscape below
And if I make it to the pearly gates,
Or just dissolve into the darkness
All kings and thieves the same, fruitless in our toil,
Swallowed by the soil
Now the good book by my bed,
Has been replaced my monuments instead
And in the light they hold together,
Ever set of core beliefs
Floating in bedroom as I sleep,
And there I sink in the space between death and eternity
Block it out
Block it out
Block it out
Block it out
Get just as close as I can to a world that is sinking beneath our feet
Lavender guilt on the sides of our faces, reckless out in the street
Time takes us all there in the end, we'll find
Truth was just a matter of now
Not some dream in the clouds
Not some life in the next,
Maybe it's just the love we invest while we're here
So help me be here
And when our bodies fall in the ground,
Swallowed by the soil
With any truth in this life we've found,
Decomposing with our secrets below
And if I make it to the pearly gates,
Or just dissolve into the darkness
All pride and shame the same, fruitless in their toil,
Swallowed by the soil.
