lyrics

How can I filter out everything?
I want a life I can trust
Instead of glitzed-up bullshit and idols made of dust

And through my window of solitude I wish for
Birdsong and Sun to lift my gaze
Instead of billboards, incandescent buildings, smoke and haze

The sword is unforgiving, so accept that it will slay
Each day there are these moments, in time they all decay
When she accepts my fading wish, I know what she will say
I love you, and like the burning bush, in ashes we will lay
In ashes we all lay

I don’t want to be a platinum person
That looks and tastes like all the rest
Let me stay silver and black, filmed in action, unpossessed

How can I release everything?
When I take in what isn’t mine
All I’m searching for in this life is peace of mind

The sword is unforgiving, so accept that it will slay
Each day there are these moments, in time they all decay
When she accepts my fading wish, I know what she will say
I love you, and like the burning bush, in ashes we will lay
In ashes we all lay
