lyrics

I thought I'd found some meaning
in this existence that tortures me
You died before I could show you
the wonders of the sea.

Maybe I'll get through this
if I can write about the light in your eyes you couldn't see

I have your books and a blanket
My artifacts of grief
I'll cuddle up to Nietzsche
and write down mythic dreams

Maybe I'll get through this
if I can write about the light in your eyes you couldn't see

You were such a brightness in a world filled with gloom.
It must have been a burden to always be the light.
I'm glad you're free from pain, but you've gone far too soon;
It's a tragedy for a fire to burn out on a cold night.

I know it wasn't easy
you were in so much pain.
There's no room in this world for
such a perfect saint.
