Where Sadness Lasts Forever
from Tetrahedra by La Mer
lyrics
You can't get closer to the end
Than being in it
All aligns with finality
There's geometry within it
They say that God
Doesn't draw in straight lines
Maybe he's a drunk
An old man with shaking hands
Or maybe not
Now we're into the waters
That were always forbidden
This cold river, it separates
The dead from the living
There are doors out there
That should never be opened
There are plains of shade
Old God has forgotten
It got so cold, so cold
I can't remember what it’s like
To feel the warmth, the sun
To bask in its light
And is hell up above?
In the endless pool of dark?
Where sadness lasts forever?
No, hell is in the heart
Sitting on the same shoulder
Whispering in the same ear
The angel and the devil
Say there's no hell to fear
The angel and the devil
They finally agree
That the Bible and the money
Come from the same tree
When dirty deeds stay dirty
The good expire too
Sing "Say Hello 2 Heaven"
And pray it'll happen for you
It’s my jester's privilege now
To drink from pools of disorder
Not to cower, not to hide
To sing "it’s over, it’s over, it’s over"
Than being in it
All aligns with finality
There's geometry within it
They say that God
Doesn't draw in straight lines
Maybe he's a drunk
An old man with shaking hands
Or maybe not
Now we're into the waters
That were always forbidden
This cold river, it separates
The dead from the living
There are doors out there
That should never be opened
There are plains of shade
Old God has forgotten
It got so cold, so cold
I can't remember what it’s like
To feel the warmth, the sun
To bask in its light
And is hell up above?
In the endless pool of dark?
Where sadness lasts forever?
No, hell is in the heart
Sitting on the same shoulder
Whispering in the same ear
The angel and the devil
Say there's no hell to fear
The angel and the devil
They finally agree
That the Bible and the money
Come from the same tree
When dirty deeds stay dirty
The good expire too
Sing "Say Hello 2 Heaven"
And pray it'll happen for you
It’s my jester's privilege now
To drink from pools of disorder
Not to cower, not to hide
To sing "it’s over, it’s over, it’s over"
