Genesis Lyrics - Futureperfect - Vnv Nation

Breathing an air 

permeated, soaked in darkness 

emanating from within 

resonating like a scream no one can hear 

I wear this chaos well 

though none should save me 

desperation keeps me here 

my need for innocence 

the place where i began 

the abyss becomes me 

i wear this chaos well

are these not words of heresy? 

a venom on my lips, a poison? 

my spirit impurified 

in everything i choose to say 

With you i stand in hope 

that god will save us from ourselves 

every cry a wasted moment 

until another day is lost 

even lands we once called home 

lie undiscovered and unknown 

only heaven's silence for an answer 

and did our laughter, did our tears 

have some purpose after all? 

did we toil in vain in hope 

that wisdom came from what we'd done? 

even lands we once called home 

lie undiscovered and unknown 

only heaven's silence for an answer 

Are these not words of heresy? 

a venom on my lips, a poison? 

my spirit impurified 

in everything i choose to say 

If i would shed my skin, the layers left 

but not the lessons learned 

it would not undo what i have done 

or grant forgiveness in some better days 

With you i stand in hope 

that god will save us from ourselves 

every cry a wasted moment 

until another day is lost 

even lands we once called home 

lie undiscovered and unknown 

only heaven's silence for an answer 

and did our laughter, did our tears 

have some purpose after all? 

did we toil in vain in hope 

that wisdom came from what we'd done? 

even lands we once called home 

lie undiscovered and unknown 

only heaven's silence for an answer
