Inherit the Earth Lyrics by Silent Planet

Everything Was Sound

2016

[Intro: Garrett Russell]
After the fire, after the rain, after the sacred kissed the profane
When you came and left again, such a captivating pain
After that night, I left my comfort to find where your body lies
I'd wander upon this grave then fall, I'd fall inside
[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
I searched the clearing for that spark, hands sifted through the ash
Knowing what we felt was real,but some delusions never pass
So I took shelter in the woods with the naked shaking trees
Deciduous, fraternal twins, we're both wilted, stem and leaf
Then the mist turned sleet, turned snow
My senses shook numb, I've nothing to show
But a rain-stained book that once contained my literary charades
New blots of ink, archetypal shapes, and shades
Bleed through each and every page
And I ask myself, what's the weight of my life on the scales of eternity?
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
We inherit the earth, we inherit the war
I inhabit the wound, I dwell in the harm
Oh, how far we fall: we're casualties of time
Oh, how far we fall: begin to forgive existence
[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
Retreat back from the reaching trees
When a frigid shadow climbs right inside of me
That specter of recompense, it's a sound I heard ever since
[Bridge: Garrett Russell]
Amidst the endless mortal strife
And the constantly dying light
The truth we felt from the start
"How can I hold myself together when everything falls apart?"
[Chorus: Garrett Russell]
We inherit the earth, we inherit the war
I inhabit the wound, I dwell in the harm
Oh, how far we fall: we're casualties of time
Oh, how far we fall: forgive existence
[Outro: Garrett Russell]
I wandered upon the altar of human invention
An exhibition of erudition
Find me here, Son of Man
How far we fall
