Текст песни The Longing - Mercy Drive

A void and empty presence
A soul set adrift
I long for something more
Rather meaningful and luminous
Not a hint of sonder
Blood and sweat they coalesce
And it falls away
Every new sensation euphoric and divine
Every destination elevates and realigns
It falls away

What does it mean to you?
Meaningless to me
I've heard it before is there anymore?
It's a life I'll never lead
These bones that I've worked my fingers to haven't broken yet
And every ounce of drudgery never meets regret

What does it mean to you?
Validated needs
I've heard it before, is there anymore?
It's a life I'll never lead
These bones I've worked my fingers to haven't broken yet
And every ounce of drudgery, a challenge I accept

A wise man once sang "all things must pass"
And now I've experienced the sweet hell of my success
Spent my dreams on meretricious gains deluded by deceit
And it falls away

What does it mean to you?
Admonishment received
I've heard it before, is there anymore?
It's a life I'll never lead
What does it mean to you?
What does it mean to me?
I've heard it before, is there anymore?
Tell me again, is there anymore?
What does it mean to you?
I'm willing to concede
I've heard it before there's nothing anymore
It's a life I'll never lead
These bones I've worked my fingers to haven't broken yet
So, what does it mean to you?
It's everything to me!
