Lyrics
I keep living despite my better judgement
Trying to outlast the disappointment
Of living among the absurd and cruel
I keep living in hopes of future raptures:
Little deaths, creative flight, hysterical laughter...
Whatever helps me to forget what's true
I'll lose myself inside of you
To ease the pain of consciousness
But there are aches that love can’t soothe
When one stares long into
This abyss…
I keep loving because love is all we have
It’s all that can relieve and redeem the worst of man
Maybe, just maybe, we can evolve…
I keep loving because I have to reaffirm
A little light and salvage it for what it’s worth
This is my resolve
I'll lose myself inside of you
To ease the pain of being doomed
Only love can fill the void
An illusion I must not undo
Not undo
There was a night in my youth
A lonely moment of epiphany
With my feet planted on concrete, I looked to the sky
And suddenly it all became so clear:
No one up there to hear my prayers,
Nature and man red in tooth and claw,
And all my pain is mine to own (it’s mine to hone)
“How do I proceed from here?”
I thought about dying constantly
I learned to bear the weight of years
Despite the absurdity of living…
Of suffering…
I keep living
I keep loving
I keep learning
I keep growing
I keep living
Because I’m already here
