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...)
