symptom of life Lyrics

pushing and peeling myself out of my disguise
looking at you now, i am wondering, who am i?
if i could try to take you back, i couldn’t define
feeling absence of time, knowing all is decided
there’s nothing here left to find, the stories all in my mind

pushing and peeling the layers that cover my mind
looking into the shadow now, i notice the light
magic is real when you see it inside, you decide
it’s like a snake shedding skin, creating life to begin
and all you knew has vanished again
transcending virtue and sin

feast my eyes on lower things while beauty is a symptom of life
gotta decide if i’m gonna see it, why?
feast our eyes on lower things while suffering is craving the light
gotta decide how we’re gonna heal it, why?

feast my eyes on lower things while beauty is a symptom of life
gotta decide if i’m gonna see it, why?
why do we?
feast our eyes on lower things while suffering is craving the light
gotta decide how we’re gonna heal it, why?
yeah, gotta decide how we’re gonna feel it, aye
desperately
trying to find out

gotta know that life is fragile
gotta know, but gotta go
i stood in awe inside a temple
of a god i didn’t know, wanna go
find the one who understands
why we wait for pain to change us
so let me know that life is fragile

it’s like a turtle in sand making way to the ocean
almost meeting the end because the birds are in motion

feast my eyes on lower things while beauty is a symptom of life
gotta decide if i’m gonna see it, why?
feast our eyes on lower things while suffering is craving the light
i’m lonely
gotta decide how we’re gonna heal it, why?

feast my eyes on lower things while beauty is a symptom of life
gotta decide if i’m gonna see it, why?
why do we?
feast our eyes on lower things while suffering is craving the light
gotta decide how we’re gonna heal it, why?
yeah, gotta decide how we’re gonna feel it, aye
desperately
trying to find out
