"Nails" lyrics

Yeah, I'm an optimist
I'll know paradise when I see it
And if there's nothing beneath it
Drink straight from the leaf
A view through the fragments
Of a shattered botanic
Self divided in endless ways
Yeah
I'm staring at a stranger
What relentless hand

Time is violence
Always too much
And never enough
Is it enough

All we are is night
Feeding on the light
Disappearing colors
Bleeding out in record time

Two ghosts
Toe to toe
Open throat
Blowing holy smoke
A view through the fragments
A glimpse of the infinite
Always too much
And never enough
We were too much
And never enough

All we are is night
Feeding on the light
Disappearing colors
Bleeding out in record time
Hidden in the background
In a book upon a shelf
It seems so elusive this
Decaying sense of self

My nails
My nails pulling back on earth
Want to slow it down
When it drags on me
Drags on me
Your nails
Your nails want to close me in
Want to dig me out
Can't slow it down
They drag on me

I keep coming back to this place in my mind
Disintegrate
Fall into the grey
Keep coming back to this place in my mind
Disintegrate
The cycle breaks

All we are is night
Feeding on the light
Disappearing colors
Bleeding out in record time
Hidden in the background
In a book upon a shelf
It seems so elusive this
Decaying sense of self
Time is violence

Always too much
And never enough
Time is violence
Time is up
