Undo You - Katatonia

At life’s four-way stop, the tinge in your shadow drops

Fate pulls you down for the count

With broken promises to amount

Time, seal our ways to the heart of our hiding place

When all our lifelines have been crossed

Some scars can never heal from what we lost

To fail the test and depart the strong

Is to light the way where you have gone

For only our funerals to come

A requiem in death, a song

And it seems to be that consistency

Is not what lingers ahead

But a virtue of the dead

One of these days, hours pass yet the night stays

When your spirit won’t turn anew

The world shuts down with no goodbye to undo you

Breathing, lifeless

We are not afraid to die

Breathe in, life’s less

You’re afraid not to live

To fail the test and depart the strong

Is to light the way where you have gone

For only our funerals to come

A requiem in death, a song
