Genesis Lyrics

Breathing in an air

Permeated, soaked in darkness

Emanating from within

Resonating like a scream no one can hear

I wear this chaos well

Though none should save me

Desperation keeps me here

My need for innocence, the place where I began

The abyss becomes me

I wear this chaos well

Are these not words of heresy

A venom on my lips, a poison?

My spirit impurified with everything I choose to say

With you I stand in hope that god will save us from ourselves

Every cry a wasted moment until another day is lost

Even lands we once called home lie undiscovered and unknown

Only heaven’s silence for an answer

And did our laughter; did our tears have some purpose after all?

Did we toil in vain in hopes that wisdom came from what we’d done?

Even lands we once called home lie undiscovered and unknown

Only heaven’s silence for an answer

Are these not words of heresy

A venom on my lips, a poison?

My spirit impurified with everything I choose to say

If I would shed my skin

The layers left, but not the lessons learned

Would not undo what I have done

Or grant forgiveness in some better days

With you I stand in hope that god will save us from ourselves

Every cry a wasted moment until another day is lost

Even lands we once called home lie undiscovered and unknown

Only heaven’s silence for an answer

And did our laughter; did our tears have some purpose after all?

Did we toil in vain in hopes that wisdom came from what we’d done?

Even lands we once called home lie undiscovered and unknown

Only heaven’s silence for an answer
