Elegy Lyrics - Singles - Rhyn

We strive to live our lives with some objective 

We try not to die in vain 

But I can't buy into your new perspective 

This nihilistic view is driving you insane 

I'll never be just one of the collective 

So disconnected from the hive 

You'll never free yourself from retrospect if 

You're the insect crushed along the drive 

Hold me when my hands get colder 

Tell me it's going to be alright 

Notice me, savour every word of this 

My elegy 

If every recent word's already spoken 

For what reason do you speak? 

Our reveries unheard lie dead and broken 

Now we're woken (do you feel unique?) 

I won't ever see the bigger picture 

It never fits inside my frame of mind 

But I will sever free from every stricture 

Leave clever writs beside my name behind 

Hold me high upon your shoulders 

Slowly lead me to the light 

Know me, treasure every word of this 

My elegy 

Hold me when the fire smoulders 

Show me we can reignite 

Oh, believe, there's more to me that's yet to be 

My elegy 

And may every man have something 

Great to say saved for the day he dies 

And may every plan we made that 

Went our way replay before our eyes 

We're more than the clay that made us 

So before we fade away to dust 

Before we say our last goodbyes 

Just hold me 

We're still getting older 

Only our eyes will burn as bright 

Promise me they'll shout requiems about 

My elegy 

Guarantee this will be the death of me 

My elegy
