Genesis Lyrics

Breathing in an air
Permeated, soaked in darkness
Emanating from within
Resonating like a scream no one can hear
I wear this chaos well
Though none should save me
Desperation keeps me here
My need for innocence, the place where I began
The abyss becomes me
I wear this chaos well

Are these not words of heresy
A venom on my lips, a poison?
My spirit impurified with everything I choose to say

With you I stand in hope that god will save us from ourselves
Every cry a wasted moment until another day is lost
Even lands we once called home lie undiscovered and unknown
Only heaven�s silence for an answer
And did our laughter; did our tears have some purpose after all?
Did we toil in vain in hopes that wisdom came from what we�d done?
Even lands we once called home lie undiscovered and unknown
Only heaven�s silence for an answer

Are these not words of heresy
A venom on my lips, a poison?
My spirit impurified with everything I choose to say

If I would shed my skin
The layers left, but not the lessons learned
Would not undo what I have done
Or grant forgiveness in some better days

With you I stand in hope that god will save us from ourselves
Every cry a wasted moment until another day is lost
Even lands we once called home lie undiscovered and unknown
Only heaven�s silence for an answer
And did our laughter; did our tears have some purpose after all?
Did we toil in vain in hopes that wisdom came from what we�d done?
Even lands we once called home lie undiscovered and unknown
Only heaven�s silence for an answer
