Lyrics
all that you suffer is all that you are
all that you smother is all that you are
and you're seeing, you're seeing
you're seeing who you are
what takes meaning is cleaning
the meaning of who you are
on this seam
i will dream
on this seam
all of your struggles beneath your disguise
drink from the reasons that hold you alive
to ascend from the words of desire and pain
you must rise from the bounds of desire and shame
too late to discover peace of mind
too late to recover me
all you see and all you breathe
and all you cease to be
taking down your only son
and what he means to me
your dream will be
to dream with me
will you wait?
yes i'll wait
i will wait for you
will you wait?
yes i'll wait
i will wait for you
to cleanse your life takes more than time
take what you want
take all of me
too late to discover peace of mind
i've no peace of mind
too late to recover
