lyrics
So take your hand and lay it on your chest,
feel the rhythm as it beats below your breast.
This is life, so subtle and still
yet constantly flowing, and ready to live.
What kind of life will you live?
Feel your tongue as it rests between your teeth,
a thing of goodness or sharpened disease.
It's an instrument, a universal antique.
Yet yours is different, its songs are unique.
What kind of songs will you sing?
Some will tell you I'm lying, or say that I'm blinded,
but I know you feel it, in the bones, in the blood in your veins
will burn, let passion turn
your doubts and your demons into fuel for the fucking flames
You'll find in a matter of time only memories stay,
as our bodies fade away
to the sea, to the dirt and the trees,
one day we will all join the breeze.
When you find yourself alone with just your breath,
feel the silence as it swells in your chest,
it's a canvas of a natural white.
You are the painter, and the painting is your life.
Let the colors fill your eyes.
Some will tell you I'm lying, or say that I'm blinded,
but I know you feel it, in the bones, in the blood in your veins
will burn, let passion turn
your doubts and your demons into fuel for the fucking flames
You'll find in a matter of time only memories stay,
as our bodies fade away
to the sea, the dirt and the trees,
one day we will all join the breeze.
feel the rhythm as it beats below your breast.
This is life, so subtle and still
yet constantly flowing, and ready to live.
What kind of life will you live?
Feel your tongue as it rests between your teeth,
a thing of goodness or sharpened disease.
It's an instrument, a universal antique.
Yet yours is different, its songs are unique.
What kind of songs will you sing?
Some will tell you I'm lying, or say that I'm blinded,
but I know you feel it, in the bones, in the blood in your veins
will burn, let passion turn
your doubts and your demons into fuel for the fucking flames
You'll find in a matter of time only memories stay,
as our bodies fade away

one day we will all join the breeze.
When you find yourself alone with just your breath,
feel the silence as it swells in your chest,
it's a canvas of a natural white.
You are the painter, and the painting is your life.
Let the colors fill your eyes.

You'll find in a matter of time only memories stay,
