about

4th track on "Basic Elements of Human Experience" EP.

lyrics

When I die I want the rain to fall. I want to see the clouds dark and grey. I want all my thoughts to slip away, and feel the cold water numb the pain. Ash to ash. Dust to dust. We all end up the same. So quench the flame. And bury the shame. Bring me peace within. And when I look up to that sky I don't want to see tears in your eyes. I tried my best and I followed my heart. But no one ever saw the truth. Ash to ash. Dust to dust. We all end up the same. So quench the flame. And bury the shame. Bring me peace within. I'm tired. And I don't want to be a part of this world anymore. So let me go. Please set me free. Just let me go.
