from "Consolamentum"

lyrics

So much pain
Weighing on my mind
The clawing need
To be understood

But always the words
I can’t seem to get them through
I can’t reach you
To make you hear

The love I’m trying to share

At last I learned
That to really live
I had to kill
My
Self

And create in the joy
Of the moment
That will not come again

But replaced by another
To bring new life
Shifting in and out of view

Jealousy
Eating at my soul
I fight and fight
But It still won't go away

Until I root out
The source of all my fears
The anguish of our
need to be loved

And love in return

At last I learned
That to really live
I had to kill
My
Self

Every last vestige
Of what I was
Burned away without shame

Just a love of all that is
All things around me
All the good and the bad

A hollow shell awaiting
The moment to be filled
With all the vastness

Of the world, no more me
No more you
I’m singing this for all of us

These sounds I cry
These words I weep
I’m singing them for all of us

So that when I’m finally gone I’ll still be here with you
