Lyrics

I know not why the devil wants my soul

My shroud is worn, my tomb is cold

The crypt is empty now

Though I don’t walk this earth

I suffer from rebirth and gates of gold

But I am not living in a world where I can breathe

Please come to comfort me – I cannot find the sea

The light is fading – all that’s left to see are memories

Question the cause – I chose unconsciousness

To ease my restlessness

and pacify my youthful rage

But I can’t relax, not in the midst of this charade

Dark shadows calling me

Drawing me nearer my grave

But I am not living in a world where I can breathe

Please come to comfort me – I cannot find the sea

The light is fading – all that’s left to see are memories

What’s left for me to do but sit and wait for you

This is not how – I am not lost

I’m only spinning ’round in circles

I’m searching for a break to make my clean escape

But I am not living in a world where I can breathe

Please come to comfort me – I cannot find the sea

The light is fading – all that’s left to see are memories

And if you should find this is upsetting you

Don’t feel too put upon -

It’s just a black cloud song
