Anodyne Sea - As I Lay Dying

Common and silent we will die in this world

We’ve only spoken to those who agree

And without them we’ve fallen on deaf ears

Stand on conviction and you will walk alone

For once I have stood (I have stood), no one will know

But alone I was born and alone we must go

In my convictions, I’ve found my own grave

But amongst the dead, we all fade away

Yet solitude is better than a life not worthy of reaction

There is nothing to lose (nothing)

So we stand alone or join those who follow in misery

In my convictions I’ve found my own grave

But amongst the dead we all fade away

Fade away…

Stand on conviction and you’ll walk alone

A voice is only a noise without someone to hear

And without a crowd to feed that noise grows silent

For once I have stood, no one will know

But alone I was born and alone we must go

Fading back into an anodyne sea

To drown with all who’ve gone before me

We must go

In my convictions I’ve found my own grave (my own grave)

But amongst the dead we all fade away

In my convictions (convictions), I’ve found my own grave

But amongst the dead we all fade away

Stand on conviction and you’ll walk alone.

Yeah…

Fading back into an anodyne sea

To drown with all who’ve gone before me

Fading back… fading.

Fading back into an anodyne sea

Fading back… fading.

Fading back… fading away
