Try and block it out

I pace around the space of this empty house

As I fell into a vision of a life well fulfilled

Attaining every dream and every thrill

But in the end still void of meaning

Block it out

Block it out

And when our bodies fall in the ground,

Swallowed by the soil

With any truth in this life we've found,

Decomposing in the landscape below

And if I make it to the pearly gates,

Or just dissolve into the darkness

All kings and thieves the same, fruitless in our toil,

Swallowed by the soil

Now the good book by my bed,

Has been replaced my monuments instead

And in the light they hold together,

Ever set of core beliefs

Floating in bedroom as I sleep,

And there I sink in the space between death and eternity

Block it out

Block it out

Block it out

Block it out

Get just as close as I can to a world that is sinking beneath our feet

Lavender guilt on the sides of our faces, reckless out in the street

Time takes us all there in the end, we'll find

Truth was just a matter of now

Not some dream in the clouds

Not some life in the next,

Maybe it's just the love we invest while we're here

So help me be here

And when our bodies fall in the ground,

Swallowed by the soil

With any truth in this life we've found,

Decomposing with our secrets below

And if I make it to the pearly gates,

Or just dissolve into the darkness

All pride and shame the same, fruitless in their toil,

Swallowed by the soil.
