Lyrics

I have come curiously close to the end, though
Beneath my self indulgent pitiful hole. defeated i
Concede and move closer. I may find comfort here
I may find peace within the emptiness. how pitiful

It's calling me
...

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping
The moon tells me a secret. my confidant
As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own
A million light reflections pass over me
It's source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her we are lifeless satellites drifting

And as I pull my head out
I am without one doubt
Don't want to be down here
Soothing my narcissism i
Must crucify the ego
Before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out

Before I pine away
...

So crucify the ego
Before it's far too late
To leave behind this place so
Negative and blind and cynical

And we will come to find
That we are all one mind
Capable of all that's
Imagine the unconceivable

Just let the light touch you
And let the words spill through
Just let them pass right through
Bringing out our hope and reason

Before we pine away
...
