DEARLY DEPARTED
Esoterik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you hear me when I'm falling broken on the floor
Crying and begging
Calling for something more
For each strived I take
Do not be such a waste
Dearly Departed
Evolving to the core
Nothing to shield me
A want me from the cool
Shaking and scattered
The world can be so cruel
You've all had your fun
So pulling me undone
And all that is left
And empties full

And all of my thoughts
There's no comfort in
The fact that everyone can see them




And how could it be
You've made me this way
