The Agonist - ...And Their Eulogies Sang Me to Sleep lyrics

All I heard was the sound of fish who'd drowned All I saw was the inside of my eyelids All I said fell short of reaching open ears Words floating, clouding the view "See no, hear no, speak no evil" Leaves you deaf, dumb and blind Because the bad is all you'll find A deeply heart-felt goodbye To the part of me that died When I decided to put others before me Yes, my heart fell asleep - boredom and fatigue I always said I wanted to die smiling To pretend I'm at peace Now from my corpse beams a frigid, blank grin And once hopeful eyes are sunken in Like a lullaby to the cradle Is the eulogy to the casket All my flaws swept under the table To grieve the porcelain doll that was me Their solemn songs sang me to sleep As my body escaped me (Welcome down into the New World Happiness is being interred) Such a shameful masquerade Fleeting, frozen minutes on display Why is evolution such a shameful thing to say? Can you feel your bodily decay? (Arms are beside me, hands open wide Seems I was living my life in rewind Taking so many steps backwards Not looking behind) Because I can sure as hell Feel my brain going blank If my body betrays me There's pollution to thank This condition infects my cells Like it controls my mind Internal army, defend me Behind enemy lines Fragile vehicle of mine Don't abandon me yet There is so much to live for That we so easily forget Fascination with the fear The concept escapes me All encompa**ing fate How it wrenches our hearts Torments our souls And sings us all to sleep To an eternal keep No matter what beliefs It sweetly sings us all
