The Fire Sermon Songtext
von Senses Fail

Today′s the anniversary of the day that you should've been born
Nobody ever taught me the empty half that you can′t afford
Standing by the ocean, I am wadding with your ashes scattering
I'm throwing salt into the sea

The burden of your death is a boulder on my chest
A blanket keeping me
Just warm enough to sting, but I'm still suffering

Emptiness is all I can feel (emptiness is all I can feel)
There′s nothing in this world that feels real
I cannot stop obsessing, but-
I′m still fixated on what I have lost
How will I ever learn to heal?

The birds still sing in the cemetery
The flowers still bloom
How do I bury someone that I never even got to know?
And I will still coat myself in the salt and burning scent
To preserve this chance of fleeting innocence
'Cause I just want my mental health to be my greatest wealth
I don′t ever wanna be this low again


Emptiness is all I can feel (emptiness is all I can feel)
There's nothing in this world that feels real
I cannot stop obsessing, but-
I′m still fixated on what I have lost
How will I ever learn to heal?

I try so hard to not be aware
That everyone I love can disappear
I hear footsteps in the night
I swear I see your face (your face)
I clutch the clothes that we bought for you
That you'll never wear

Emptiness is all I can feel
There′s nothing in this world that feels real
I cannot stop obsessing but
I'm still fixated on what I have lost
How will I ever learn to heal?

Emptiness is all I can feel (emptiness is all I can feel)
There's nothing in this world that feels real
I cannot stop obsessing, but-
I′m still fixated on what I have lost
How will I ever learn to heal?
