Pallbearer - Rite Of Passage

Lyrics to Rite Of Passage by Pallbearer

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Feasting eyes on wreckage that surrounds me Makes me wonder if I ever learned to live I have such little recognition Of what I was when I could still see your face The many flaws, of my own admission; A void supreme, I can’t pull away [Chorus] This rite of passage It took all of these years, but now I finally know One question to ask of you Did part of me die while watching you go? [Verse 2] In the soul, the frailty is seated Gnawing doubts that I ever learned to live Look upon the days since you’ve departed My grand accounting of errances made This ache, incessant once it started As I espouse a meditation on decay [Chorus] This rite of passage It took all of these years, but now I finally know One question to ask of you Did part of me die while watching you go? [Guitar Solo] [Modified Chorus] This rite of passage It took all of these years, but now I’m finally shown The cavity that grows within Vacant space that was left a lifetime ago [Outro] Not fully alive Just a shadow to be Will I be revived? Or transfixed in between
