"Carbon14" lyrics

Send me back to hell's gates
I'm sick of this path and the light that awaits
Send me back to hell's gates
I'm sick of this path and the light that awaits

Let the light go
Antimatter is all I know

Nurture nor nature
Will ever depict the state
Of our decaying cells
Ultraviolet catalytic hell
Happiness is a half-life
Comfort found at the end of a knife
Strength or deterioration
Suffering decadence

Eclipsing around you
The light fragments
And shines right through
I've fought off burning
Absorbing all wavelengths
Darkness is all I'll know

Carbon fourteen
Beta-decay, numbered days
We're not made the same
So, I've tried and try as I might
You can't illuminate that void of light

Eclipsing around you
The light fragments
And shines right through
I've fought off burning
Absorbing all wavelengths
I am nothing

Falling amidst a black hole
Drowning with colours we won't know
I reached for the light and it burnt my hand
Weakened, worthless
No shining idols will stand

Send me back to hell's gates
I'm sick of this path and the light that awaits
Send me back to hell's gates
Send me back

Sub-atomic rot
Decay and nothing more
