We all can only take so much Some more than others And our individual tolerance For stress, for loneliness Is so subjective But there's no tolerance at all For hopelessness Yes, you sure did your best smile When I took you once more to the isle But all the serenity Just served to augment your pain You've always been intrigued By death and the other side You got yourself to close to the, to the abyss And no, no one of the closest ones around you Realized how your stare turned empty How the flickering faded from your eyes And emptiness invaded And no one could tell the moment When you disassembled When your restless heart froze And you sank below the ice Eyes wide open Your savior's soul is consumed by guilt Your faith in him won't be saving you Your savior's soul is consumed by guilt Your faith in him won't be saving you My whole life I've been searching Digging deep Turning over every stone Questioning everything I know Maybe there's no fire Deep behind these mountains This light is something else We are just atoms Colliding, clashing Melting, merging Existing, spinning Colliding, burning Out
