Try and block it out
I pace around the space of this empty house
As I fell into a vision of a life well fulfilled
Attaining every dream and every thrill
But in the end, still void of meaning
(Block it out, block it out)

And when our bodies fall in the ground
Swallowed by the soil
With any truth in this life we’ve found
Decomposing in the landscape below
If I make it to the pearly gates
Or just dissolve into the darkness
All kings and thieves the same, fruitless in our toil
Swallowed by the soil

Now the good book by my bed
Has been replaced by monuments instead
And in the light, they hold together
Ever set of core beliefs, floating in my bedroom as I sleep
And there, I sink in the space between death and eternity
(Block it out, block it out)
(Block it out, block it out)

Get just as close as I can to a world that is sinking beneath our feet
Lavender guilt on the sides of our faces, reckless out in the streets
Time takes us all there in the end, we’ll find
Truth was just a matter of now
Not some dream in the clouds, not some life in the next
Maybe it’s just the love we invest while we’re here
So help me be here

And when our bodies fall in the ground
Swallowed by the soil
With any truth in this life we’ve found
Decomposing with our secrets below
If I make it to the pearly gates
Or just dissolve into the darkness
All pride and shame the same, fruitless in their toil
Swallowed by the soil
