One and two
We talked too much two points of view Three and four
And now I have to lock the door
Five and six
To have the strength to get it fixed Seven and eight
Oh have we really sealed our fate?
To the left to the right
We preferred to hide when we had to fight To the left to the right
We turned back away when we had to try To keep it together
Be one forever
In the wrong, In the right
Never stood our ground and now we find
We're back to basics again
I don't think this night we will still be friends And I am tired to make amends all night and day Not here to stay
For every new road
A new turn will open
And every new song
Is different from the rest
It's hard to pick the best
To the left to the right
We preferred to hide when we had to fight To the left to the right
We turned back away when we had to try To keep it together
Be one forever
In the wrong, In the right
Never stood our ground and now we find
And every new song
Is different from the rest

Oh well
The tables have turned
Pandora's box's wide open
Could having the bridges burned with all things real Leave me who I used to be?
When I'd wake up from sunny slumber
It never occurred to me -
All simple beauty
Was to fade and crumble
Through the algorithms and codes
Perceived value slowly corrodes
And it's here to stay and play us all like pawns
The question of tomorrow turned the question of today Be augmented or replaced, augmented or replaced
The question of tomorrow is the question of today Augmented or replaced, augmented or replaced
Now I wander through shadows,
Grasping straws of the thoughts that once shone bright Hoping to find a way to rekindle the light
Still, I believe that I can find my way back home
And maybe, just maybe the tables will turn
And I'll wake up in the world
Where simplicity takes away the encore
Through the algorithms and codes
Perceived value slowly corrodes
And it's here to stay and play us all like pawns
The question of tomorrow turned the question of today Be augmented or replaced, augmented or replaced
The question of tomorrow is the question of today Augmented or replaced, augmented or replaced
The game has changed
The play rearranged
Am I who I was, lost in the buzz?
The game has changed
My heart's rearranged
Am I who I was, lost in the buzz?
I won't give in
And I won't let go
I'll find my way through the ebb and flow

Countless thousands souls have died
Gone with no trace, embraced the light
I see fear and despair as the fitting end For the ones who preferred to end up dead
And I'm trying to decipher
Every single day and night
A way for you to spend with me
At least another life
Spend three eternities with me This cold for some may be too much Our minds at last together
Our neuro endings simply touch
As the dreaded fate stares in my eyes
I'm going through the boring old traditions like a knife On my way to see you all the same decades ahead Disregarding all religion, life and death
Spend three eternities with me This cold for some may be too much Our minds at last together
Our neuro endings simply touch
There is no end in sight for you and I
In liquid nitrogen no one will ever hear you cry Cry

My room's full of pictures
Of those who never cared for me
Keeping me up at night
Tear through my chest
There for each and all to see.
There was never a place I wouldn't
Or a thing I wouldn't do
One simple question still haunting
How could you?
How could you do this to me?
go with you
me:
So many words unspoken
Lost in the deep blue of your eyes
You left me questioning everything
Every and each one of your unintended lies
There was never a place I wouldn't go with you Or a thing I wouldn't do
One simple question still haunting me:
How could you?
How could you do this to me?

The rays of dawn reminding
Of all the hopes and dreams that come to dust As morning fog dissolves at last
I cannot keep my eyes away from windows
Stark clarity of glass
Reveals the enemies
No longer looking like the friends you knew for once
Concrete nightmares
Save me from the winds that chill my soul
Another morning walk won’t help me get my head much straight at all
It’s simply terrifying
How they’re always staring down at you
No need to dream to see them
Once you’re back you’ll feel their presence too
I cannot keep my eyes away from windows
Stark clarity of glass
Reveals the enemies
No longer looking like the friends you knew for once
Concrete nightmares
Save me from the winds that chill my soul
Another morning walk won’t help me get my head much straight at all
Concrete nightmares
Save me from the winds that chill my soul
Another morning walk won’t help me get my head much straight at all
I cannot keep my eyes away from windows
Another morning
Another morning

All Things Come to Dust

Before I was sixteen
The breath of nature's greening
I was to keep it clean
And keep away from things demeaning
Go taste the fruits of life
But "shush" when they turn deeply rotten It's things like this that cut like a knife The person that you should be growing
But it's ok
Life moves by pretty fast
I feel all things come to
Come to dust
The dilettants held forth
The things that should be cultivated
So I could cram into my world
The visions I hallucinated
Beware child
Don't lose sight
We did our job
You're on your own
But what about me
The tides still knock me of my feet
For all of those who have been kind to me For you these tears I weep
But what about me
The falling rocks still break my bones
My prayers go for those who have been kind to me God bless their souls
But what about me
I wouldn't know where I went wrong
I don't know where to start
A single thought, Lord
Where do I belong
Come to dust
Come with us
Come with me
Feel all things come to
Come to dust
Come with us
Come with me
Feel all things come to dust
