A simple passage of the days that I have wasted
I feel the summer slipping through
These aging fingers
Compelled to walk upon the same path that I have tread so long
Still nothing changes
A simple passage to a place that I have come to know
I still remember
A better time
When the thoughts that we had connected
Between our open eyes
We say goodbye to a life that’s been mostly silent
Erroneously led
Strive to complete myself
It seems my work is never truly done
I see your face, barely through the haze
You see a life, erroneously led
There’s hope in younger days
There’s warmth within the past that’s so familiar
I forget just why I came here
I Hope that you remember
Home
All this time I’ve wasted
In my self-righteous anger
Oh the years I’ve lost
To this profound indifference
I find my direction
A solemn duty owned
Mine, it is mine alone
To watch this world expire
Like machines, we embrace
Cold limbs connect
A silent, errored life
Slipping into oblivion
Led astray through endless days
Silent now, the words so loud
My mind is drifting out
Between perception of a dream and what is real
Now all I have is lost with you
I hope that you remember
A better time
When the lights were all so candescent
That reached me from the sky
We say goodbye to a life within dead horizons
Erroneously led
Strive to escape myself
It seems my work is never truly done
I see your shape falter in the wake
Of a life erroneously led
The sun leaves on its own A simple passage of the days that I have wasted I feel the summer slipping through These aging fingers Compelled to walk upon the same path that I have tread so long Still nothing changes A simple passage to a place that I have come to know I still remember A better time When the thoughts that we had connected Between our open eyes We say goodbye to a life that’s been mostly silent Erroneously led Strive to complete myself It seems my work is never truly done I see your face, barely through the haze You see a life, erroneously led There’s hope in younger days There’s warmth within the past that’s so familiar I forget just why I came here I Hope that you remember Home All this time I’ve wasted In my self-righteous anger Oh the years I’ve lost To this profound indifference I find my direction A solemn duty owned Mine, it is mine alone To watch this world expire Like machines, we embrace Cold limbs connect A silent, errored life Slipping into oblivion Led astray through endless days Silent now, the words so loud My mind is drifting out Between perception of a dream and what is real Now all I have is lost with you I hope that you remember A better time When the lights were all so candescent That reached me from the sky We say goodbye to a life within dead horizons Erroneously led Strive to escape myself It seems my work is never truly done I see your shape falter in the wake Of a life erroneously led Explain Request ×
