Survivor & The Moral Eclipse lyrics

all lyrics by Steve Jackson

"survivor"
* = written by Andy Parmann

will i sit curled up like this until it goes away?
the swallowing feeling that starts at the back of my eyes,
down my throat and through my soul. its endless, it draws me deep.
this is true fear and i wont accept it as reality

we're so surrounded by false infinity.
(this is true fear/this is panic. i cant see anything/i cant breathe)
concrete statues from concrete minds seeking eternal infamy
the things we do to relieve death anxiety
we all seek eternity.

but time waits for no man.
from dust to fucking dust.
a death grip on existence
what will it take for us to let go?

will we waste our lives searching for means to no ends
or can we dissolve our nature, and no longer pretend
that we are exempt from nature. no life exceeds its means.
i accept no life beyond this world. from dust to fucking dust.

there is no turning back as i take this step forward.
no delusions of eternity, no fear of forever.
there is no turning back, this is all we have left.
(life passes by)
"there is no great reunion in the sky"*

but time waits for no man.
from dust to fucking dust.
our death grip on existence
what will it take for us to let go?

"the moral eclipse"

In my words I find resolution and understanding,
and with others I progress.
Skeptic at heart I question everything
that I see, everything in front of me is
subject to scrutiny. But in my questioning
I denounce introspection, and now we're left
without self-reflection, but the truth is
that I'm a wreck just like you.

I lost myself in search of answers and truth,
I lost myself in hopes to save us all.
I lost my drive for change in search of myself.
I just need to find some peace of mind...

I'm torn between the world and myself,
but when the world burns itself down, why do I bother?
Ill always push for change, but will I always save myself?

I need to find some balance,
I need to find a way out.
I need to find some balance I need out.
I need to find some balance, or I will watch this all burn.

I lost myself in search of answers and truth,
I lost myself in hopes to save us all.
I lost my drive for change in search of myself.
I just need to find some peace of mind
