"Codex" - The Wise Man's Fear

Track 9 of The Lost City
LYRICS:
I am not the man I once aspired to be
But I live with that just like I live with everything
A false smile to cover half my face from those who revel in righteousness
And a shadow of myself to hide all of the rest
The splits, the breaks
The tremors and shakes
Grasp like a hand
They swallow the land
Inscription hear me as the depths
Are drawing near to me they're all that I can see
And when I held my breath and closed my eyes
For a moment it felt like home
The world is a smaller place than when I was young
But I still can’t seem to figure it out
It makes less sense now than it did then somehow
And my conscience has turned inside out
My conscience has burned out
But I love regression like I love myself:
On again and off again and at all of the worst times,
In again and out again like I’ve been left behind
I can’t be happy that it’s over, just sorry that it ever happened
Inscription hear me as the depths
Are drawing near to me they're all that I can see
And when I held my breath and closed my eyes
For a moment it felt like home
Take me home
This is farewell
This is farewell
My story may end here
The road may disappear
But all is not lost if we bear the cost
But all is not lost if we bear the cost
