The first time I k**ed
I felt whole
But feelings fade to empty hearts
Like dusk to dark
She's all I see
She makes me
To be her fate, a dying dove
I set free
Look into my eyes
Let me watch you die
Show me things I've never seen
The reason that I am alive
I've earned my place
A shallow grave
Part in shadow
Part in light
Soul in limbo
Some empty heaven
Sometimes it's hard to be so humble
Sometimes it's hard to know the truth
I can't tell the difference, anymore
Between me and God
Part in shadow
Part in light
Soul transcending
Some empty heaven
I wonder what it's all about
Am I living my life learning to die?
Am I the center of attention?
Or the punchline of some cruel joke...
Maybe it's not all so serious
Maybe it's not at all mysterious
Eat and sleep and procreate
Ashes to ashes
My only fate
Am I alone in my request
For an end to justify the means
There has to be more than this
More than some empty heaven
Something beyond this duality
More than some empty heaven
You've paid the price in pain and tears
For more than some empty heaven
(You've paid the price. In pain... and tears...)
