Stillborn
Of Glaciers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I swallowed a pill for every day that I let drift away.
I swallowed the guilt, for all the times I've made you feel less than.
Now I lay down, I look around; this is my ending, self-driven.
Every day is the same, how could I be the one to blame?
I close my eyes, hoping it's the last time.
I wish you could see me now, my apology with no sound.
The words, unspoken, weigh me down.
Today my eyes leave the world.
So that's 15 down, and I can't feel anything changing.
But I must lay down.
Suddenly, now I see, my misery is my own decision.
Decide!
I hope you can hear me now, my apologies sung out loud.




Dying, I call out for help.
My eyes must not leave the world.
