lyrics
There's no justice to be had
in a life full of bad
decisions wrought entirely by me
I'm a beacon for hardship
I radiate and I dig
graves for those who believed in me
Up there in the clouds
I'll see you around
Half a heart waiting for me
It seems like all time
but on that day I'll be fine
I know you're out there waiting for me
As I do everyday
I wake up and make my way
to curse at the layer of Earth between me
and the bright vibrant warmth
so present before
it was foolishly given to me
[chorus]
my punishiment is meted out
by the thick opressive cloud
of miasma that hangs in the air
and what keeps me going
oh, what keeps me going
is in knowing not giving up I'll make you proud
[chorus]
Oh, children will sing songs
that decry my wrongs
because i was too foolish to see
a smile beyond, all mortal wrongs
desired my sanctuary
I know you'll be fine
it's just a short time
until our hearts are complete
in a life full of bad
decisions wrought entirely by me
I'm a beacon for hardship
I radiate and I dig
graves for those who believed in me
Up there in the clouds
I'll see you around
Half a heart waiting for me
It seems like all time
but on that day I'll be fine
I know you're out there waiting for me
As I do everyday
I wake up and make my way
to curse at the layer of Earth between me
and the bright vibrant warmth
so present before
it was foolishly given to me
[chorus]
my punishiment is meted out
by the thick opressive cloud
of miasma that hangs in the air
and what keeps me going
oh, what keeps me going
is in knowing not giving up I'll make you proud
[chorus]
Oh, children will sing songs
that decry my wrongs
because i was too foolish to see
a smile beyond, all mortal wrongs
desired my sanctuary
I know you'll be fine
it's just a short time
until our hearts are complete
