Anodyne Sea

  • None of this matters, none of these words
    Common and silent we will die in this world
    We've only spoken to those who agree
    And without them we've fallen on deaf ears

    Stand on conviction and you will walk alone

    For once I have stood no one will know
    But alone I was born and alone we must go

    In my convictions I've found my own grave
    But amongst the dead we all fade away

    Yet solitude is better than a life not worthy of reaction
    There is nothing to lose
    So we stand alone or join those who follow in misery

    In my convictions I've found my own grave
    But amongst the dead we all fade away
    Fade away

    Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone
    A voice is only a noise without someone to hear
    And without a crowd to feed that noise grows silent

    For once I have stood no one will know
    But alone I was born and alone we must go
    Fading back into an anodyne sea
    To drown with all who've gone before me

    We must go

    In my convictions I've found my own grave
    But amongst the dead we all fade away

    Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone
    Fading back into an anodyne sea
    Fading back, fading
    Fading back into an anodyne sea
    Fading back, fading away Writer/s: JORDAN D. MANCINO, JOSH GILBERT, PHILLIP J. SGROSSO, SAMUEL NICHOLAS HIPA, TIMOTHY LAMBESIS
