Lyrics

Ache of undying apathy Slovenly soul Forsake this life, resign from light and mortal duty Take self abdication, wallow in sloth and ruin Farther Deeper, the forest grows Emerald pillars of earthly judgment, scold A condemnation of sheer indifference A path forged, callous and cold And as winds draw listless, as above Beneath the fissured earth, so below Sunken, before the mire Whispering "repose" Renewing breath, of all life Ridding its weary toll Twisted, silent reeds lurking Take their hold Feel warm embrace, break surface Pull flesh from bone liberate me of purpose and plight Rebirth Once idle hands, grasp at the air Expel the silence from my lungs Into the soil, breathe hollow prayer In the mire, forgotten by the sun Wake up now Wake Shed this dream and its mortal coil Enter the lucid collective, in pulsing soil Stretching thin, alone within and without form Faceless, piercing the earth, a burden no more Outward: rind from skin, desiccated and torn Inward: under bleak consciousness, a sullen, fragile core A resignation to indifference A soul bound, rotted and old And as the pillars reach into the sky Beyond the mire, never known No No semblance to remember A visage lost, overgrown and exorcised Seize the bones and drive them deep into the fertile earth Rebirth Once idle hands, grasp at the air Expel the silence from my lungs Into the soil, breathe hollow prayer In the mire, forgotten by the sun Forgotten Body and mind intertwined and dissolved Relinquishing life, a mercy to languish eternal inside Internally, cry out, silent forever Captive of the mire Tethered to to all things Rid of desire and devotion bare, the green man's suffering Forgotten, forsaken the sun Forsaken the sun Once idle hands, grasp at the air Expel the silence from my lungs Into the soil, breathe hollow prayer In the mire, forgotten by the sun Take Take the path of indolence Fade Without reverence Shade Forever bask in lights absence Wait An eternity spent Waiting
