The Everlasting Gaze Lyrics

[00:10.04] You know I'm not dead
[00:13.24] You know I'm you know I'm not dead
[00:16.68] You know I'm not dead
[00:20.44] Now you know where I've been
[00:27.21] As you sleep torn I am
[00:33.88] Weighted down patiently
[00:40.52] Born of love
[00:43.42] You know I'm you know I'm not dead
[00:47.64] I'm just living in my head
[00:51.06] Forever waiting on the ways of your desire
[00:59.47] You always find your way
[01:06.99] And through it all into us all you move
[01:16.49] Forgotten touch, forbidden thought
[01:22.32] We can never have enough
[01:27.62] You know I'm not dead
[01:30.68] You know I'm, you know I'm not dead
[01:33.98] You know I'm not dead
[01:37.80] Found below the creatures scream
[01:44.50] Stranglehold a god machine
[01:51.16] Begging to tear us out
[01:57.63] Worn as hope
[02:00.46] You know I'm, you know I'm not dead
[02:04.82] I'm just the tears inside your head
[02:08.05] Forever waiting on the ways of your desire
[02:16.45] You always find a way
[02:23.89] And through it all, into us all you move
[02:33.57] Forgotten touch, forbidden thought
[02:39.46] We can never have enough
[02:44.47] You know I'm not dead
[02:45.86] We all want to hold in The Everlasting Gaze
[02:49.22] Enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway
[02:52.41] But underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every c.o.g.
[02:55.75] The fickle fascination of an everlasting God
[02:58.34] You know I'm not dead
[03:01.68] I'm just living in my head
[03:04.55] Forever waiting, forever waiting a cruel death
[03:10.79] You know I'm not dead
[03:14.02] I'm just living for myself
[03:16.98] Forever waiting
[03:19.82]
[03:21.93] You know I'm not dead
[03:25.18] You know I'm not dead
[03:28.45] You know I'm not dead
[03:31.63] You know I'm not dead
[03:33.07]
