Cartesian Lyrics by This Glass Embrace

The Light That Shines Into Our Graves

2013

[Verse 1]
There is a ghost in the machine
There is an ‘I’ behind my eyes
If soul and substance are the same
Then there’s no truth, and no one’s right
We all take everything on faith
So let’s be honest with ourselves
The earth will swallow our mistakes
The dust will grow over our doubt
[Chorus]
And we are no one’s keepers, you and I
The truth is we can barely keep ourselves in line
We may be broken but keep watch and hold out hope
Past the horizon line there dawns a distant light
[Verse 2]
There is a fear we cannot name
Between the words of whispered prayers
Yet from the moment we are made
We close our eyes and shield our ears
There is a ghost in the machine
There is a love inside your eyes
The earth will swallow our mistakes
But what we are will never die
[Chorus]
And we are no one’s keepers, you and I
The truth is we can barely keep ourselves in line
We may be broken but keep watch and hold out hope
Past the horizon line there dawns a distant light
