Assemblage 23 – Document (Haujobb remix) Lyrics

This is a document

In stillness, a silent wait
Pausing every minute to evaporate
A desire to leave a scar
Raise a voice from within the dark

Decaying, cascading
Existence falls apart
Around me, within me
So I must leave my mark

This is a document
To prove that I was here
This is a document
To prove I was at all
And when my voice ceases to be
Will the echoes still ring loudly?
And when there's nothing left of me
Will my memory still go on?

A fragment, transitory state
The echo of the instant that burns away
A moment, a shard of time
A solitary thread threads to unwind

Decaying, cascading
Existence falls apart
Around me, within me
So I must leave my mark

This is a document
To prove that I was here
This is a document
To prove I was at all
And when my voice ceases to be
Will the echoes still ring loudly?
And when there's nothing left of me
Will my memory still go on?
