I woke from silence of an infant sleep
The sirens 'screams got hold of me
Dreams that we safely guarded are lost but never gone
In labyrinths childhood eyes can't see
We grow old and the world seems a lonely place
Years slip away, nights and days recede and descend
How could it have come to this
How a vision can persist
Void of sense that we dismiss in this vacuum of truth...
Little boring to be told
Too old fashioned to be sold
Take a bow before you'll go with the flow
Back in times of the open doors
When every star was worth gazing no matter the light
It would share
Recall the nights you spent all alone
Drifting through the universes of parallel lives
Are they still there
Will all the light we offered up
To ghosts of past mean just that much
So we could pay for time we've got
When we'll be leaving
With all the hope we have attained
Can we feel ready for the pain
Seeing through eyes of the insane
No signs of meaning
All of the magic we lived for
Does it seethe inside or is it forever lost
In the days of old
Caught in the true sense of nevermore
Prayers are waiting to be heard, it's kind of too late
As the night unfolds
Will all the light we offered up
To ghosts of past mean just that much
So we could pay for time we've got
When we'll be leaving
If there's a lesson we have learned
Something's not real when nothing's wrong
Love you don't feel's not fully gone
It just lies bleeding
As we wonder how it could have come to this
Future's weird from the slope of the abyss
It's a call we just can't resist
Backing our reasons till nobody cares
Might be leaving but we never really go
Try to guess but we never really know
Then we note our skies are pretty low
All become heroes but nobody dares
Massing all that we attain
Getting ready for the pain
Can the eyes of the insane see much farther than mine...
A reflection of the fall
Haunting vision of us all
Should we prepare for losing the ground
