lyrics

There is no love
Left in my heart for the world of men
So I depart
For the undying lands

There is no love
Left in my heart for a mortal woman
I am a shell, a trail of smoke
An evaporation

I live my life
In twilight
Just grasping
And groping at the dark
But there's nothing to grab on to
Or grabbing back

I am driving through the forest
With no headlights
I don't know why I haven't crashed into a tree
I never hit the brakes
The hills just aren't that steep
I'm never going anywhere at a fatal speed

So I set my sails
And float to my end

"I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear
I learn by going where I have to go"
I live in words that are not my own

It takes too long to finish
What needs to be done
I see my prize waiting for me
But I'm not sure I've won

I've wasted so much time
Defining what is mine
Nothing is Mine
