...and Their Euglogies Sang Me To Sleep - The Agonist

All I heard was the sound of fish who'd drowned

All I saw was the inside of my eyelids

All I said fell short of reaching open ears

Words floating, clouding the view

'See no, hear no, speak no evil'

Leaves you deaf, dumb and blind,

Because the bad is all you'll find

A deeply heart-felt goodbye to the part of me that died

When I decided to put others before me,

Yes, my heart fell asleep - boredom and fatigue

I always said I wanted to die smiling,

To pretend I'm at peace

Now from my corpse beams a frigid, blank grin

And once hopeful eyes are sunken in

Like a lullaby to the cradle is the eulogy to the casket

All my flaws swept under the table

To grieve the porcelain doll that was me

Their solemn songs sang me to sleep as my body escaped me

Their solemn songs sang me to sleep as my body...

Such a shameful masquerade!

Fleeting, frozen minutes on display

Why is evolution such a shameful thing to say?

Can you feel your bodily decay?

Because I can sure as hell feel my brain going blank

If my body betrays me, there's pollution to thank

This condition infects my cells like it controls my mind

Internal army, defend me behind enemy lines!

Fragile vehicle of mine!

Don't abandon me yet!

There is so much to live for that we so easily forget

Fascination with the fear

The concept escapes me

All encompassing fate

How it wrenches our hearts

Torments our souls

And sings us all to sleep

To an eternal keep,

No matter what belief

It sweetly sings us all
