Oliver Francis
Vanitas
[Verse 1: Alex Kelly, Matt Cole, & Both]
She wanders the grounds
Patiently awaiting the end
"Turn back!" she said to me
"His mind is collapsing, he does not see reason!"
I fear what she'll do
With the knife in her hand
Warm path of evergreen (Evergreen)
His eyes pierce the night sky with no recognition
Blackened dreams of distant shores

[Chorus: Matt Cole & Alex Kelly]
Step forward and realize this dream
I am dissolving, just don't let go of my hand
With empty eyes, you smile at me
Tell me, where were you when I was feeling alone?
When I was feeling alone
Alone

[Verse 2: Matt Cole & Alex Kelly]
As his tears meet dry earth
A river flows from the place of his funeral
And the path that led us home has now been turned to dust and fire
In perfect elegance you sit
Watching the flames shoot skyward
The earth, it shakes and it's torn apart
My [?] begins to [?]
Blackened dreams of distant shores
[Chorus: Matt Cole & Alex Kelly]
Step forward and realize this dream
I am dissolving, just don't let go of my hand
With empty eyes, you smile at me
Tell me, where were you when I was feeling alone?
Step forward and realize this dream
I am dissolving, just don't let go of my hand
With empty eyes, you smile at me
Tell me, where were you when I was feeling alone?
