As i lay dying

[Chili Peppers]

Undefined

Undefined

What is this world, what is it we've created
In the burdens of this life I cannot rest
this world means nothing

Everything we hold will pass away
with a void of completion comfort will ever fade
I long for this wind to cease

Everything we hold will pass away
Everything we hold will pass away
I long for this wind to cease

We once held undying devotion
now dead to our thoughts, undefined like our love

Everything we hold will pass away
Everything we hold will pass away

 

[Chili Peppers]

A Thousand Steps

A Thousand Steps

We climbed a thousand steps without a single imprint
This drowning regret will die

Forgotten like my past
Forgotten like my past

Moving bodies lie in rest
Carried by each other

 

[Chili Peppers]

The Beginning

The Beginning

From here to eternity we begin understanding
From here to eternity

I see who you are and who else can compare
I meant what I said, I promised to stand by your side

Until the end, that's where we begin
Until the end, that's where we begin

From here to eternity we begin understanding

It is our hearts that define what has meaning in life
Some will ask how can this be
But it was you who made me feel

From here to eternity we begin understanding

Until the end, that's where we begin
Until the end, that's where we begin

Until the end, that's where we begin
Until the end, that's where we begin

Song 10

Song 10

[Whispering]

One night opens wounds and words utter pain
You've hid hearts and songs as long as you recall

One night opens wounds and words utter pain
The truth cannot breathe a one in your soul
You've hid hearts and songs as long as you recall
His kind words just fall near your feet
With their last air, all they want done is to be heard in your sweet ears just once

 

[Chili Peppers]

The Pain Of Separation

The Pain Of Separation

How can I bear this any longer
Take me away
Arms stretched out only to hold separation
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away
Take me away

I'm dying inside, emptied before you
Take me into your arms

I will fight until the day when I will see you
Sight given to these blind eyes

When will I
be taken from this life
take what is yours
You deserve more than my life
You deserve more than my life

Take me Away!

 

[Chili Peppers]

Elegy

Elegy

[to Stephanie for undying friendship]

Did you ever see me or could you even see at all
I looked at your cold white face, so still, so empty
Yet I knew you were at,
Knew you were at rest
much more comforted than I
What else could I find to replace who you were
It was the carefree
unrestricted love that
You never meant to give
You never had the choice
You never had the guilt
You never had the choice

It was your innocence
It was part of who you were
It was the comfort of a friend

You never meant to give
you never had the choice

It was your innocence
It was part of who you were
It was your innocence
It was the comfort of a friend

It was your innocence
It was part of who you were
It was your innocence
It was the comfort of a friend

Meaning In Tragedy

Meaning In Tragedy

Yeah

I have traveled so far to find so little
Meaning in tragedy or tragedy
In the search for meaning
Dark clouds have lead me here

Yeah

Confined freedom
Guides us to security
What if everything (yeah)
I have been taught is a lie
And all of my teachers
Have been wrong this whole time

Compelling us to fight
The battles they would not
They have already won
And we have already lost
If we do not learn from their mistakes
We have already lost

Yeah

If we do not learn to change

 

[Chili Peppers]

Confined

Confined

Yeah
That night that I never came home
Wandering souls captured my thoughts
Emptiness filled my mind
Urgency spoke her lies
In the confines of these grey walls
I watched them move together
Taking me places I cannot remember (remember)
We have been poured out
Into a loveless bride

How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
(Yeah)

In a world passing through my fingers
I still chase the wind

How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless

Yeah

What have I learned from yesterday?
What have I learned from yesterday?

 

[Chili Peppers]

Losing Sight

Losing Sight

Can...
Can we die to live an other day?

How could we lose sight
Of what matters most?
Trying to love
What cannot love us back
All we have is not worth living for
If we do not know when to let go

What is life
That we cling to it so tight?
Afraid that it will take from us
These fading sentiments
Can we die

Yeah

Can we die to live another day?
Can we die to live another day?
Can we die to live another day?

What is life
That we cling to it so tight?
Afraid that it will take from us
These fading sentiments

How could we lose sight
Of what matters most?
Trying to love
What cannot love us back
All we have is not worth living for
If we do not know when to let go

How could we lose sight
Of what matters most?
Trying to love
What cannot love us back
All we have is not worth living for
If we do not know when to let go

The Darkest Nights

The Darkest Nights

For so long I have felt alone
Content to live with unrest
Longing faded into countless nights
That buried my weary heart
But You brought an end
To this dead hour
And meaning to a calloused life

Held in Your arms
But too far from my heart

These thoughts will carry me through
The darkest nights
While Your eyes rest in

These thoughts will carry me through
The darkest nights
While Your eyes rest in mine

I remember the way You looked at me
And the way You drew
Dew me cose
With one deep sigh
Scattering pieces of my
My restless mind
Forgetting all that we have left behind

We have left behind
We have left behind
We have left behind

These thoughts will carry me through
The darkest nights
While Your eyes rest in
