The Absurdity of it

from First Minds by Simon Pyke & James Buttery

/

lyrics

Through the cracks we grow 
Upward towards the light above
But some of us get stuck deep in the hole 
Nattering away one half of a whole

We can’t deliver them from this
Self deprocating diss 
Into medicated bliss
We can’t deliver them from this

Hidden deep beneath
A fear so dark that you can’t breath 
Or whisper a word
Stolen away 
Exited the world leaving without a trace  

the tragedy of this
that final kiss you give 
can’t protect the heart from this
if love is lived when its gone it must be missed

we’re all drawn from love  
fragile like hope that’s clear to us
no hiding away from that look on a face
of someone who’s living in a world of pain

Ceasing to exist
Into a chemical abyss they slip
can never reminisce
a loss so hard you can’t bear to miss

Down the deepest hole
Moving towards a light ahead
all of the silence in the world for the thoughts in your head

But you can never reminisce
Ceasing to exist
Into medicated bliss they slip

When they’re ceasing to exist
What must give to deliver from this
Deliver them from this

Thrust into the unknown
Flat out along an unlit road
To where it will go no one can know
The absurdity of it 
like dust In the wind we blow
