Lyrics: Swallow the sun Take away everything I want to paint this world anew Into a cold, dark, gentle place I feel it I feel it bleed into my brain; Overtaking I need to feel the pain again I’ve been trying to find the purpose But the answers are never black and white I’ve been dying to reach the surface Disillusioned with all I’ve come to find Take everything Swallow the sun Take everything My soul has gone hollow My soul’s hollow Bereft and sickened to death I am frail Yet still I exist to float through the entropy The burden of time It continues to tarnish the light we have left Before it awakens into a new dawn Take everything Swallow the sun No illusions left in the dark But in it’s presence I see clearly Seek rest and snuff out the flame that we bare It’s too late To stay here inside the dream that we’ve made Before us Awaits the purest release from our flesh The burden Relinquished inside of the ash I welcome it with open arms Erase the consequences And take new form The time has come to shed dead skin Burn the effigy Reject the hollowing From a life spent forlorn I sit and rot Amongst the entropy I Return to ashes
