Elixir

from The News Unfit by Solipse

/

lyrics

i was amazed by the pain in my eyes
when i drank the elixir of life
all of history’s secrets
mapped out like the stars

i was deceived by the pleasant disguise
of eternal life
nothing to kill or die for
and no purpose too

i was dazed by the glare of the sun
when it struck
stuck on the objects of living affection
and a fading past

i could not decide
by the fading sign of light
i was hypnotized
and hopeless

but now betrayed by the passage of time
and an empty earth
fever as warm as the ocean
dead luck

i could not decide
by the fading sign of light
i was hypnotized
and hopeless

no more searching
no more purpose
waited my whole life to walk the water’s surface
no more reason
no more seeking
waited my whole life to see the end of seasons

could mind plus time make dust more divine

i was amazed
when it hit

lord of an empty planet
for all it’s worth
blessed to be one whose name was
written in dirt
