Vanitas by Treebeard Lyrics

[Verse 1: Oliver Francis, Matt Cole, & Both]
She wanders the grounds
Patiently awaiting the end
"Turn back!" she said to me
"His mind is collapsing he does not see reason!"
I fear what she'll do
With the knife in her hand
Warm path of evergreen
His eyes pierce the night sky with no recognition
Blackened dreams of distant shores

[Chorus: Matt Cole & Oliver Francis]
Step forward and realize this dream
I am dissolving just don't let go of my hand
With empty eyes you smile at me
Tell me where were you when I was feeling alone?
When I was feeling alone
Alone

[Verse 2: Matt Cole & Oliver Francis]
As his tears meet dry earth
A river flows from the place of his funeral
And the path that led us home has now been turned to dust and fire
In perfect elegance you sit
Watching the flames shoot skyward
The earth, it shakes and it's torn apart
[?]
Blackened dreams of distant shores
[Chorus: Matt Cole & Oliver Francis]
Step forward and realize this dream
I am dissolving just don't let go of my hand
With empty eyes you smile at me
Tell me where were you when I was feeling alone?
Step forward and realize this dream
I am dissolving just don't let go of my hand
With empty eyes you smile at me
Tell me where were you when I was feeling alone?
