Let the Earth Reclaim Me

Witness the beauty in darkest of things
Like the incurable torment that exists in me
For years I've persisted in pathetic existence
Living a lie in my half dead appearance

This is the end of me
For better or for worse
Let this be the death of me
The end of my curse

From your view of my tides
You might think everything's fine
But take one look in my eyes
You'd see how I've been deprived

I've wasted all my life
But now I know my purpose
In death grows life anew
I know the earth deserves this

Could never win at life
So let me live in death
The circle won't be complete
Till I have met my defeat

Abandoned by love again
Abandoned by myself in the end
It's a shame how this world just
Keeps repeating itself
But can I complain when I am
So often the one who's to blame

It pays to get this pain off my chest
But much more won't come out
How long must I wait until
I can finally exist without

Let the seeds thrive off my entrails
Let roses sprout from my eyes
Feed my bones to wild dogs
Heal the Earth with my demise
Let me be alive in everything
Not trapped in a wooden box
Leave no trace of me
No evidence I exist
Leave my only legacy
Be the weeds feeding off my limbs

From your view of my tides
You might think everything's fine
But take one look in my eyes
You'd see how I've been deprived

I've wasted all my life
But now I know my purpose
In death grows life anew
I know the earth deserves this

Could never win at life
So let me live in death
The circle won't be complete
Till I have met my defeat
