Born Benign to This World Lyrics

I watch as the days
Pass endlessly by

I feel like I'm slipping
Through the crevice of time

The rain
It burns
As it lays waste to my skin
It lays waste to my skin

Pain
Washed away
I'm left to dismay for my life
For my life

The bind it is breaking
I am your blood no more

The bond it is breaking
I am your child no more

This is my story
This tale I shall tell
How a child grew and prospered
Inside this mortal shell

I was left at birth
Alone, this is my curse
My parent buried me
Returning their child

To the earth

I struggle to find
Any relief for this strife
Relief for this stiff

This burden I bare
Is a pessimist's life

The rain
It burns
As it lays waste to my skin
It lays waste to my skin

Pain
Washed away
I'm left to dismay for my life
For my life

The bond it is is breaking
I am your blood no more

The bind it is breaking
I am your child no more

My life is benign

I can't recall
Yesterday's sky
The people I've met
And the life in their eyes

Every single second
Of every single day
It feels that time
Is slipping away
