lyrics
the reflection exists where the original doesn't.
the world is a hall of mirrors.
we wonder whose image we project; we wonder who we're really looking at
god only spoke once to disprove himself then fell silent forever and all meaning died.
[down, further down, below the ground, father awaits. down, further down...]
i robbed your grave every night for years seeking serenity if not actual purpose,
and i never stopped to wonder why your skeleton stood four inches too high until i saw you alive and well,
and the longing i felt for some kind of connection was gone;
the body in the ground was my own and love swung in the wind from a noose
[down, further down, below the ground, father awaits. down, further down...]
i tried to transcend a sacred boundary; i tried to insert myself into your world.
i should have stayed where i belong at the bottom of the sea,
unknown and unseen, another world away; for all intents and purposes nonexistent to you and the rest of your kind.
the pain i caused has come back to me tenfold.
ocean reflects all the lost souls searching in vain for their abodes.
try to believe and say what you see.
when the light comes goes right through me- see, your heart's full, mine is empty;
fit to expire, thrown on the pile.
come one, come all, see me suffer. search the ocean where my grave is;
the end of all mankind is all that awaits.
