Lyrics

We climbed for years and years only to stumble in an instant Survived for years and years only to crumble in an instant I lived inside a dream, the fading twilight of a youth lost Cashed out Bled dry Gutted Mined for nostalgia And I woke up as an object Re-invented as a product Fetishising my despair Selling memories to old friends Clocking overtime on weekends Cursing the stillness of the air The oceans rose The mountains fell I stayed hidden Like a stranger to myself My debts are measured in the moments I waste While the clock keeps ticking away I try to qualify each compromise as The years grow shorter and my thoughts turn colder "The future beckons from beyond the sea" It's always something It's always something Maybe I have lived too long The curtain fell, the spark is gone And though I lack a self to kill The velvet dark eludes me still So I wait You led me through the deathless night Like a flower bending towards the light Without pity (no pity) or fear (no fear) Despite my worry that the end is here In your eyes I found a hint of resolve The future beats within the people we love So breathe in and let the body fall Breathe in and let the body fall You say "it's too late, we're all of us sinners" Well, I point to the river I point to the river Breathe in and let the body fall Breathe in and let the body fall Keep dreaming Keep dreaming (It's always something)
