lyrics

GOODBYE EDEN

eden is on fire
these candle drops explode
down deep beyond the mire
is where the cavern meets the road

the last of these pretenders
they're singing gospels in the void
their eyes and thoughts remember
something shy of paranoid

it's not what we avoid
that breaks us

eden is on fire
like nothing we have seen before
come quick, we're getting tired
like moss we're covering the floor

on the tail end of this fortune
underneath the risen tide
it's all too much to sort
you had better take a seat inside

it's not what we all hide
that breaks us

follow me down
this line

eden is on fire
it's what we've all heard in the wind
some voice we all admire
but not the kind you'd call a friend

another dawn arising
standing tall against the sun
it's not all that surprising
that we are the chosen one

it's getting kinda fun
now that it breaks us

follow me down
this line

eden is on fire
i saw it written in the news
they blamed it on the choir
but it was me who lit the fuse

down and out survival
is better than some kind of lie
no time to wait for the revival
only then will you get by

there's nothing out beyond the sky
that'll break us

follow me down
this line

-7/7/21
