lyrics

Kill yourself and make you stronger
Collect the pieces, throw them in the water
Wait around 'till you're no longer.

God is finally fading and everybody is going to die. Die.
// Diaphanous rains shift the flow of the water.

A mess of vertigo, where did my mind go?

I am not what's taken by the flowing water
// God is finally fading and everybody is going to die. Die.

A mess of vertigo, where did my mind go?
// Wash away what you are, you are no longer.

I am not what's taken by the water, by the flowing water
I am not what's left behind by the water, by the flowing water
I am not what's left behind, collect your wreckage
Count your wreckage
// God is alone. God is dead. Wallow away in an empty place.
The dream is over. The dream is over.
