A Final Slice of the Cake Lyrics


A final slice of the cake

A question asked so many times

By the ones alive

Should you or should you not take

A final slice of the cake

You must realize

Before your body dies

Your life is only yours to make

A final slice of the cake

Is there a deeper meaning

Or is it just a simple problem

You will see when you awake

A final slice of the cake

The problem that you see like a fountain is just the top of the mountain

You only see the ice with your bloodshot eyes

Even if you open wide you fail to realize

There is stone beneath the sound, the roots are your burial ground

The mighty reaper so grim and fierce hasn’t stalked you for many years

You carry him around yourself and place him on your kitchen shelf

Because you have gone blind, you see with your eyes instead of your mind

Now think and wonder for your own sake, should you take a final slice of the cake?

A final slice of the cake

A question asked so many times

By the ones alive

Should you or should you not take

A final slice of the cake

You must realize

Before your body dies

Your life is only yours to make

A final slice of the cake

Is there a deeper meaning

Or is it just a simple problem

You will see when you awake

A final slice of the cake

You may think that I am your problem but god damn

You are looking in the wrong direction, see the destruction

I see you standing there every day like you don’t care

With a knife in your hand and your blood coloring the sand

But you don’t feel it, you don’t care, you don’t live, you’re just standing there

How can you be alive with so much ignorance and still pretend to strive?

I am trying to reason with you against your treason

I am trying to open your eyes to the problem you can’t realize

Slow and heavy

I feel so slow and heavy

The problem is not just yours but also mine

You make me suffer because I care for your soul

What the problem in your heart is isn’t what matters

The fact that it’s there is the reason I care

A question asked so many times

By the ones alive

Should you or should you not take

A final slice of the cake

You must realize

Before your body dies

Your life is only yours to make

A final slice of the cake

A final slice of the cake

The weight of the world is dragging me down

I will not stand here and watch you drown

But I don’t know what I can do

To remove the abyss between me and you

The emotions in your soul are connected to my own

With strings so much thicker than blood

And I feel so heavy and alone

Why have you forsaken me god?

I wish it was nothing more than a matter of slices of the cake

Oh how I wish upon a star that you would open your eyes

And see the problem and find a solution, be awake

Instead of turning your heart into ice

See the issue in the end is a matter of life and death

So much more profound than how much dessert to eat

And yet food and the weather are all we care about

So our souls and minds are free for our demons upon to feed

The emotions in your soul are connected to my own

With strings so much thicker than blood

And I feel so heavy and alone

Why have you forsaken me god?

I wish it was nothing more than a matter of slices of the cake

Oh how I wish upon a star that you would open your eyes

And see the problem and find a solution, be awake

Instead of turning your heart into ice

But why in the end am I not cutting the ties

I start to struggle when I try to find the answer

Should I do what I can al beteken het mijn dod?

Or should I cut myself down from the gallows?

No I refuse be a martyr

I refuse to be a saint

I have done so much for you but it was all in vain

The intention was for healing

Not to be fed upon

I refuse

I refuse

I refuse

No I refuse be a martyr

I refuse to be a saint

I have done so much for you but you are in my way

The intention was for healing

Not to be fed upon

I refuse

I refuse

I refuse

And I have nothing left to say
