Rhyn - Elegy lyrics

We strive to live our lives with some objective We try not to die in vain But I can't buy into your new perspective This nihilistic view is driving you insane I'll never be just one of the collective So disconnected from the hive You'll never free yourself from retrospect if You're the insect crushed along the drive Hold me when my hands get colder Tell me it's going to be alright Notice me, savour every word of this My elegy If every recent word's already spoken For what reason do you speak? Our reveries unheard lie dead and broken Now we're woken (do you feel unique?) I won't ever see the bigger picture It never fits inside my frame of mind But I will sever free from every stricture Leave clever writs beside my name behind Hold me high upon your shoulders Slowly lead me to the light Know me, treasure every word of this My elegy Hold me when the fire smoulders Show me we can reignite Oh, believe, there's more to me that's yet to be My elegy And may every man have something Great to say saved for the day he dies And may every plan we made that Went our way replay before our eyes We're more than the clay that made us So before we fade away to dust Before we say our last goodbyes Just hold me We're still getting older Only our eyes will burn as bright Promise me they'll shout requiems about My elegy Guarantee this will be the d**h of me My elegy
