Massa Nera - I Point to the River Songtext
We climbed for years and years only to stumble in an instant
Survived for years and years only to crumble in an instant
I lived inside a dream, the fading twilight of a youth lost
Cashed out
Bled dry
Gutted
Mined for nostalgia
And I woke up as an object
Re-invented as a product
Fetishising my despair
Selling memories to old friends
Clocking overtime on weekends
Cursing the stillness of the air
The oceans rose
The mountains fell
I stayed hidden
Like a stranger to myself
My debts are measured in the moments I waste
While the clock keeps ticking away
I try to qualify each compromise as
The years grow shorter and my thoughts turn colder
"The future beckons from beyond the sea"
It′s always something
It's always something
Maybe I have lived too long
The curtain fell, the spark is gone
And though I lack a self to kill
The velvet dark eludes me still
So I wait
You led me through the deathless night
Like a flower bending towards the light
Without pity (no pity) or fear (no fear)
Despite my worry that the end is here
In your eyes I found a hint of resolve
The future beats within the people we love
So breathe in and let the body fall
Breathe in and let the body fall
You say "it′s too late, we're all of us sinners"
Well, I point to the river
I point to the river
Breathe in and let the body fall
Breathe in and let the body fall
Keep dreaming
Keep dreaming
(It's always something)
Survived for years and years only to crumble in an instant
I lived inside a dream, the fading twilight of a youth lost
Cashed out
Bled dry
Gutted
Mined for nostalgia
And I woke up as an object
Re-invented as a product
Fetishising my despair
Selling memories to old friends
Clocking overtime on weekends
Cursing the stillness of the air
The oceans rose
The mountains fell
I stayed hidden
Like a stranger to myself
My debts are measured in the moments I waste
While the clock keeps ticking away
I try to qualify each compromise as
The years grow shorter and my thoughts turn colder
"The future beckons from beyond the sea"
It′s always something
It's always something
Maybe I have lived too long
The curtain fell, the spark is gone
And though I lack a self to kill
The velvet dark eludes me still
So I wait
You led me through the deathless night
Like a flower bending towards the light
Without pity (no pity) or fear (no fear)
Despite my worry that the end is here
In your eyes I found a hint of resolve
The future beats within the people we love
So breathe in and let the body fall
Breathe in and let the body fall
You say "it′s too late, we're all of us sinners"
Well, I point to the river
I point to the river
Breathe in and let the body fall
Breathe in and let the body fall
Keep dreaming
Keep dreaming
(It's always something)
