I paint my skin a shallow grey

Teeth less I will start to pray

Restless eyes closed tonight

No images from the other side

I claw towards...

I claw towards an unknown truth

And an open book before me I lay

Blank pages read the history

I read into...

I read into the leaves

And with pain I paint on my skin

Coloring the blood within

The grains of dirt I do count

And pillars of time I will mount

Yes these pillars

These pillars I ascend

And thus I see

There is no ocean before me

And tho' I weep

No tears shall drop on the soil

And I try to breathe

And I try to hear

I try to see

But no tears shall drop on the soil

I paint my skin a shallow grey

Teeth less I will start to pray

Restless eyes closed tonight

No images from the other side

The grains of dirt I do count

And pillars of time I will mount

Yes these pillars

These pillars I ascend
