Disconnecktie: The Faithful Vampire Lyrics - Norma Jean

It's taken me 50,000 separate wrecks to get here and 

I've learned absolutely nothing. As I'm standing here alone, 

upright and motionless, I'm drowning in her sea. 

The rising and sinking of every consciousness I've ever known 

now detached and disconnected. The endless cycle of idea and action, 

endless invention, endless experiment, endless hopes and endless 

disappointments. And I thought all I needed was just one breath to stay 

afloat. For me it was like... like the breath, the last breath, the last breath 

that I never wanted. Any of this. 

I'm moving forward. 

I never thought that this would 

capsize, but this isn't a boat, it's a coffin! And now I'm moving forward. 

Into the sea... into the great sea. 

So I began with the end in mind. 

The cycles of heaven, 20 centuries gone by, come home. 

I've fallen three miles now... and still I can't shake this dragon, 

but the end is coming like a flood. This is going to be a year for 

growing and the greatest amount of forgetting. My sea is drying, but 

death is a doorway, 

and at the very root of me I know this. 

It's the greatest reminder. What a broad world to roam in, 

what a sea to swim in, so I begin with the end in mind.
