[Verse 1] From the cradle to the grave, destined to break like the waves Existence is so threatening It takes a fierce grace to crack us open A moment sat with our sentencing And the light comes flooding in, oh, the light comes flooding in When the leaves fall in the spring [Chorus] May all the beggars be blessed Like angels with anhedonia We’re all just doing our best Repeating, “There’s nothing left” That’s why we weed out the wonderers Maybe there’s virtue in emptiness But I still drown in distress When the leaves fall in the spring [Verse 2] With the ravens here to stay and the doves all flying away Sedation feels so welcoming In the subtle space, there’s an endless ocean But the devils sing and it’s deafening What a world we’re living in, oh, we’re never listening When the leaves fall in the spring [Chorus] May all the beggars be blessed Like angels with anhedonia We’re all just doing our best Repeating, “There’s nothing left” That’s why we weed out the wonderers Maybe there’s virtue in emptiness But I still drown in distress When the leaves fall in the spring [Bridge] I’ve got a lot to lose, but I won’t lie to you And make believe sincerity, I’m praying for a remedy Beloved distant blue, one day I’ll die for you And swim in sweet serenity ’cause death is not my enemy [Outro] I’ve got a lot to lose, but I won’t lie to you And make believe sincerity, I’m praying for a remedy Beloved distant blue, one day I’ll die for you And swim in sweet serenity ’cause death is not my enemy
