lyrics

THROUGH THIS WORLD, AWAKE

White sun through the window in the morning as I rise
Clears away the gossamer veil of sleep from my eyes
I see mankind in motion like some grotesque ballet
I see everything I love will eventually fall away
It’s something like being born, something like a fever break
Going through this world, awake

I’ve seen darkness of the deepest kind - things no human eye should see
Joy flies on magpie wings - but sorrow runs deep
So give me a drink, turn up the music, sell illusions of control
Say a prayer, chant mantras, tell the sweetest lie you’ve ever told
‘Cause I don’t know how much more I can take
Going through this world, awake

Sun going down in the gun metal sky
Orange ball of fire looks like god’s own eye
Tears blur my vision like I’m looking through a flame
As my heart fills with longing for something better I can’t name
Like Adam and Eve in the garden tempted by the snake
Cursed to go through this world, awake
