False Life Lived Lyrics[Verse 1]
Last night I dreamed that I lost all of who I was
I was in some ancient village searching for the taste of blood
The roads were dry and dusty, there was terror all around
I was sure I'd left some money on the other side of town
So I walked on for hours, through the miserable market streets
[?], compounding chaos
There was flesh between my teeth
[Verse 2]
He said, "I am not your enemy, I hope you'll be okay
You are bound to the darkness in a million different ways"
I said I never looked back twice when I was in my prime
I pleaded ladies favorite enemies, stuck my spear in a sparrow's side
But when the birds flew to their nest when the ladies found their tower
Do you still brim with that vigor
As you stretch to fill the hour?
[Chorus 1]
I apologize for everything, I'd like to take this off
I am still strangled by my voice
And all the things I cannot say
[Verse 3]
Took a bulletin from the rostrum
And he shoved it in my mouth
It was sickly sweet like honey
And I coughed and spat it out
He said, "I am not your enemy, I hope we can be friends
It's a tall, narrow gate we all pass through in the end"
[Verse 4]
And the saints who bled on mountains
Like the men who marched to war
As the world moves on without you
We will show up in their stories
[Chorus 2]
But a hundred thousand hymns, they could not penetrate my heart
I am still frightened of the dark
In the dark I cannot see you
