Allegaeon - Embers (Into) lyrics

As the sun at night and the stars in the day
The emptiness that surrounds me
Is truly amazing, a vision destroyed
Like the sound of a whisper
Descending in the distant
Darkness

Retreating from the grasp of the
Hands that burn the world
In the pale light of the daybreak
I change again to stone
Thrust so deeply into the dirt that
I can never be surfaced
Like a shipwreck fallen far beneath into
The trenches of the deep

Dreams, like memories
Lose their taste over time
And the bitterness quickly becomes
All you can remember, so fear not for after
The pain subsides
It will be like you never dreamt at all

I have no way to survive or
Place to belong while staying alive
Mysteries sealed in cages of steel
Clattering far above where vision has failed

Living is the chaos of existence
Dismantling it'self, instant by instant
There is no uncertainty or fear within
For living is what creates it

Confessing from behind a mask
Insincerity spilling out over the edges
Where the mystery of being hangs
Snakes from the mouths of
The withered and aged
Like a flame broken into embers
A once unbearable heat has faded away

When the light goes out
The darkness is deeper than if
It had never shone
As the light goes out
In this cavern so dark I hope to remain

Like a flame broken into embers
A once unbearable heat has faded away

Shapeless is the mold I'm encased in
Chased by a wraith in a hundred

Places I fear
This dream I once held dear is disappearing
The picture of a world of
Gray is getting clear
So many differences
Interpretations taking place
The dream I once held dear is fading away

Now drifted so far into the distance
This ship of Theseus is sinking

Living is the chaos of existence
Dismantling it'self, instant by instant
Living is the chaos of existence
Dismantling it'self, instant by instant
There is no uncertainty or fear within
For living is what creates it
