[00:23.68] Reality no longer battles perception.
[00:27.43] This letter's written to no one.
[00:31.02] Sincere,
[00:33.10] I sought your truth and divine purpose through myths of revelation.
[00:38.71] Guidance all wrapped up in a paper box,
[00:44.77] supported only so long as my mind was the enemy.
[00:51.43] I could not in conscience hold on.
[00:54.20] As we face distress we must not lose heart.
[00:57.91] Stand fast and press on,
[00:59.83] triumph awaits.
[01:01.76] As we face distress we must not lose heart.
[01:05.60] Stand fast and press on,
[01:07.47] triumph awaits us.
[01:17.43] The powerful constant that I had once leaned on is no longer there.
[01:23.38] No longer
[01:27.02] You call this shameful disbelief,
[01:29.42] a process like losing my closest friend.
[01:32.50] As we face distress we must not lose heart.
[01:36.30] Stand fast and press on,
[01:38.12] triumph awaits.
[01:40.14] As we face distress we must not lose heart.
[01:43.93] Stand fast and press on,
[01:45.81] triumph awaits us.
[01:49.07] Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart,
[01:56.49] before we can rebuild them again,
[02:00.75] a greater foundation.
[02:03.22] We watch our whole lives
[02:08.07] Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives
[02:11.23] fall apart,
[02:12.24] Before we can rebuild them again, a greater foundation.
[02:26.50] I wish there was another way,
[02:30.28] but no amount of devotion can fix this.
[02:37.79] Triumph awaits.
[02:41.58] Triumph awaits.
[02:45.35] Triumph awaits.
[02:49.20] Triumph awaits.
[02:57.04] Triumph awaits.
[03:00.13] Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart,
[03:07.67] before we can rebuild them again,
[03:12.22] a greater foundation.
[03:19.35] Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives,
[03:23.15] before we can rebuild them again,
[03:27.45] a greater foundation
