lyrics

There is no time
After the end of things
Once thought to be
Here everlasting
The night darkens corners
Of mans understanding
Cannot be drawn
From the edges of others

Oh, the emptiness inside
It's a feeling so good
That I just can't explain is as real

Relinquished to sands
That were sinking
One losing hand
Stuck in
Was a loss of importance
A bottle spins round
The cap overflowing
Two colors intertwined to make one

Oh, the emptiness inside
It's a feeling so good
That I just can't explain is as real

The chains will not hold
Your heart from its beating
You asked for a chance
But there was nothing to repay
I've asked you all
To not be so fleeting
To ensure the words you speak
Are written for the day

Oh, the emptiness inside
It's a feeling so good
That I just can't explain is as
Oh, the emptiness inside
It's a feeling so real
That I just can't explain is at all

Cradle your head
On the pillow
Don't open your eyes
Stay there sleeping by my side
I will be there in the morning
Once again

A fine example of melodic experimentation throughout its runtime. Life Patterns plays on several different motifs that coordinate together quite well and shows depth and range. Fringes of Sound
