lyrics

Vincent:
Count them all
Calculate the mass of your escape
To autumn's dreamless shadow
On the crest of broken waves

What awaits me worse than death?
What awaits me worse than this life?

Ikelos/Chorus of Doubt:
Withering, wilting, did you ever see the sun?

Vincent:
Drown them all, raise a toast
Speak a truth no one knows
To autumn's sleepless spirit
On the edge of sweet oblivion

What awaits me worse than death?
What awaits me worse than this life?

Ikelos/Chorus of Doubt:
Withering, wilting, did you ever see the sun?

Vincent:
I've got seventeen shimmering angels with the power to chew up my insides
And dissolve my mangled spirit into memories

But what awaits me better than death?
What awaits me better than this life?

Ikelos/Chorus of Doubt:
Withering, wilting, did you ever see the sun?

Vincent:
Everyday I practice the words that burn on the backs of my lips
Waiting for the devil to catch me when I fall from grace
