My Birth in Grief and Ashes Lyrics

There were things I used to know

Now I am missing all the meanings
I am struggling to stay awake
there is nothing left to learn


I watched her cry
and that's when all fell apart
she went on silently whispering
that only shadows are real

Before I got here, I wasn’t used to look up,
out there we are all too busy
to be conscious of the grey
to pay attention to the sky 

Now it's the only option left

Wherever I turn,
it's the only thing that stayed the same

And here I gave birth to the earth 

It wasn't remarkable,
just painful

There were things I thought i knew

Now they left me here asleep
the fear of looking up as the only option left

Now that everything changed
and I seemed to have lost the pace

Out there they all know,

I will never be the same

Here I gave birth to the earth 

where only shadows are real
