lyrics

We’re all livin’ on the brink of a breakdown
Navigating the spaces in between
Life cycled and death spirals
Solipsistic sense of sacred certainty
How can we feel so empty
When all we do is consume?
The emperor is nude
But we find meaning in meaning’s pursuit

We don’t wanna be enlightened
We wanna be in love
We don’t want to wait for redemption
To reign from above
But as above so below
All that’s left is a solemn sense of solace
From which to grow

We need darkness to see the stars
But our resistance mimics the orthodox
The truth is we must give up on truth
Embrace a beautiful, brutal paradox
So drink now of the blood
From the sacramental wine
Dine now on the body, but what of the mind?

All is in a constant state of becoming
Everything perpetually coming to it’s end
Fulfillment in the face of futility
Omnipotent indifference forgives us of our discontents

So if it’s worth dying for
It’s worth staying alive to find out
How we can take faith in our doubts
Forsaken futures fuel a flame
Within and without
We find fellowship in the fight
Despite the inevitable ending
Find redemption in connection
Meet the reckoning with reverence and affection

We don’t want to be enlightened
We wanna be in love
But everythings perpetually ending all the time
Laughter in the face of suffering
At the forest’s edge we can sense
A lovingly indifferent divine
