Death is Real - Rivers of Nihil

For all your ruminations on strength and purpose

There’s only dust collecting

In a mind where none can find you

You’ve shown a wealth of disease

A hand that’s broken in fractions

A face that’s masked in decay

With no body to call his own now

He’s turning inward

I, I’ve lost faith

There’s only ugliness here

Only death can find me

So we know that nothing’s true

In all your life there’s deception

That somewhere truth can be found

In a house where faith has failed you

There is no use in defending

A hand that’s broken in fractions

A face that’s masked in decay

With no body to call his own now

He’s turning inward

I, I’ve lost faith

There’s only ugliness here

Only death can find me

So we know that nothing’s true

We knew another way

To live beyond our despair

You’re gone, we’re here

So we know that death is real

And we know that death is real

Thoughts of delusion behind stagnant cold eyes

Faces masked inside a house decayed and twisting

All around me are the plastic holy relics

They remind me of my vibrance, gone

Only death can find me

I, I’ve lost faith

There’s only ugliness here

Only death can find me

So we know that nothing’s true

We knew another way

To live beyond our despair

You’re gone, we’re here

So we know that death is real
