The Embers – Meaningless! Meaningless! Says The Teacher. lyrics

Album: The Author Bleeds

Do not fear the piracy of our existence...we're here to stay.
Throw away all of your preconceptions and what they say.

We've over analyzed these messes called 'religion' and 'spirituality'
Only to find that reasoning will kill us all, and slowly at that.
Take heed to these lies cascading from your throat.
It would be a shame to spill poison ink on a blank canvas.

As colors fade and take their shape
Like awkward grays we've come to hate
Our heavy hearts will only state
A love and taste for what is fake

We stored up treasures under the sun for fear of dying empty
And we built towers to reach heaven, all in the search for glory
Did you see the holes inside his hands?
Or have you doubted love again?
We have failed you, we have fled from home.
And we have failed to make you all our own.

As colors fade and take their shape
Like awkward grays we've come to hate
Our heavy hearts will only state
A love and taste for what is fake

Jesus, you are my only consistency. Carry me as you have thus far.
Jesus, you are my only consistency. Carry me as you have thus far.
Jesus, you are my only consistency. Carry me as you have thus far.
Jesus, you are my only consistency. Carry me as you have thus far.
