This Too Shall Pass Away (For Freddy) Songtext / Lyric

you cut her name into your heart

you burn his name into your arm

cast out the pig you kiss as love

heaven is closed for now you are alone



this too, this too shall pass away

this too, this too will pass away

listen, Steven is singing to you

the pain of life you wipe away



a reason,

that a fine gray ash shall recall these days

inquire

the serpent

to become a rag of a dream interred

you arrive

and you wave your hand as if she could care

but she can't

nor can you

the relinquishing and a flickering

out of loss






this too, this too shall pass away

this too, this too will pass away

listen, Steven is singing to you

the pain of life you wipe away



this too, this too shall fade away

this too, this pain will pass away

listen, Steven is singing to us

the pain of life you wipe away



perhaps depraved is who you are

why not?

depraved at least you're not alone



overcome

by the truth you face

that you can't get up or look up

at the moon

without throwing up

and it stays the same all the time



lie and wait

it could stop again

like a bee

it will die

when it stings you once

and its small bee's head will fall off



this too, this too shall pass away

this too, this pain will pass away

listen, Steven is singing to you

the pain of life you wipe away
