Текст песни As I Lay Dying - Akerman

Another drop enters the blood in my veins
It's all too symbolic as I lie in bed
The metronome trickle - it places a trance
My thoughts heading back while time moves ahead

I've had quite a run as I seem to recall
The metronome hints that summations are due
And although our story took place early on
The paths of my thoughts seem to all lead to you

From the days of our youth our lives are entwined
and now at the end, the summations are due
You remain the most luminous point in my mind
Shining pain on what's lost
Shining joy on what's true
Yes, the paths of my thoughts seem to all lead to you

And the world was too violent, too vague, too unjust
and we walked hand in hand towards a dream in the sky
The noises grew quiet, and so did the sound
I was not aware you were passing me by

From the days of our youth our lives are entwined
and now at the end, the summations are due
You remain the most luminous point in my mind
Shining pain on what's lost
Shining joy on what's true
Yes, the paths of my thoughts seem to all lead to you

I returned to the earth several years after you
From those fantastic visions obscuring my sight
And though you abandoned my dreams of pastel
I thank you for teaching me colors so bright

From the days of our youth our lives are entwined
and now at the end, the summations are due
You remain the most luminous point in my mind
Shining pain on what's lost
Shining joy on what's true
Yes, the paths of my thoughts seem to all lead to you
Yes, the paths of my thoughts seem to all lead to you
