Pack your soul into a body bag and place it upon the ground, then build a boat and lay it on the water and float on to your own personal eden.
Watch the wake fade away and push you toward the only thing you're guaranteed, content yourself, take solace in the peace of knowing everything.
Elysium
Elysium
Arise, arise open up your eyes and take a cup of tea for your belly.
The lies, the lies what a surprise, they've come to haunt you like a ghost.
And watch you grow old, and watch you grow old.
Stilted soul
wait till break of day
to hide your body away
The sun is come
to rid your weary face
of all your lost attempts at grace.
