Lyrics
You're gone
You're lost in a world of your own design
Alone,
Humanity's long since been left behind
And would you believe that I once felt your pain?
(Although it's far behind me now)
It seems so strange to me that in pain you still believe
And I see a light ahead
A template for all my ambitions
Life lays bare before
Meaning disinterred
I'm welcoming my liberation
Moral,
You call me what you will and cast me away
I know
And in the depth of my ignorance I'm not afraid
And would you believe that I once felt your pain?
It seems so strange to me that in pain you still believe
And I see a light ahead
A template for all my ambitions
As a new day dawns
On an empty world
I'm welcoming my liberation
I'm alone in the world
A husk fading petty and destined
And I stay my mind
From futile tries at
Reaching for exoneration
I'm lost in the stars above
Consumed in my reflection
Distracted from my condemnation
They join me in consciousness
I can't
Remember a time when days flickered
Like their cold light
Care passed like season
And love was free of all reason.
My reason is as trivial as senses pervaded by a final nostalgic scent
I inhale once more
Knowing the dreams I won't live don't matter
(Leave It Behind)
