about

Track 8 from the album The Lightmaker

lyrics

I spent my life building
To fill, to fill
Like an irrational fear of the void
To fill, to fill
But is all this real?
What will remain when I'm gone?
But is all this real?
What will remain when I'm gone?

Feelings
Illusions
Truth
Meanings
Delusions

Aren't we all the same?
Are we so different in the end?
In our nature, our being, and our dreams
Through our tears
We are the builders of hopes
The traders of fears

When the blade of anguish comes too close to our dreams
We become as fragile as a lonely heart
Being careful not to cut ourselves
But aren't we missing things?
Don't we miss life?

A mystery box
Floating on the violent shores of life
Overwhelmed by waves of feelings
Still carrying our message
Towards the land in sight
Everything I've built you can destroy
Or make it your own

Would you like to come with me?
Join me for a waltz
In the whirlwind of the life
I built, create
I locked myself up
Safe in these ramparts of lies
I locked myself up

I lay the foundations of a meaningless existence
To furnish your life
But at the end
What will remain?

I spent my life building, filling
Like an irrational fear of the void
But is all this real?
What will remain when I'm gone?

Feelings
Illusions
Truth
Meanings
Delusions

Aren't we all the same?
Are we so different in the end?

Why give us the ability to feel
If life has no meaning?
Why have emotions
Inside waves of absurdity?
