To Know is to Die

I had a dream we never existed Particles of dust, dissolved I had a dream I saw the world Before it was made Everything was silent Nothing to save No decisions in life or death No vacant souls to sacrifice at the end I could see it collapse Before it ever began to break and crack Created by a hand, left to be destroyed Are we all victims of torture Or victims of choice? A life built on ruins, and piles of innocent How the fuck do we live like this? I refuse to let The sky be my grave The Sun collides with the Earth So tell me who's to blame We're all sculpted from dirt Without a blank slate We've been designed to fail It was always our fate Can we compromise? Kill every thought of a conscious mind Let it decompose as we grow A light that won't shine on me in the afterlife The thorn in my side Were we even meant to survive? To know is to die I had a dream we never existed How the fuck do we live like this? A cruel punishment to feel like we belong When we'll barely be missed No one to mourn the loss How the fuck do we live like this? No decisions in life or death No vacant souls to sacrifice at the end I could see it collapse Before it ever began to break Can we compromise? Kill every thought of a conscious mind Let it decompose as we grow A light that won't shine only in the afterlife The thorn in my side Were we even meant to survive? To know is to die A light that won't shine Were we even meant to survive? A light that won't shine To know is to die, to know is to die
