lyrics

I told myself it would pass
Like a dream fading in the morning light
Until there would be no more feelings like this
And the numbness would be gone forever

It was gone in the blink of an eye
Disappearing over the horizon
As the red sun cradled everything
And we basked in the afterglow
From the heavens

And just for an instant
As I clambered out of this
I felt the thrill of existence
It seem as though my dreams had been fulfilled
And I was more than just a listener

But now as before
I find myself washed up on a beach
Still hoping for some definitive
Peace inside, eluding me still
So far off in the distance

So I return to the world
Where all things pass under bridges
And over walls the rich men built
To protect their empires
And their riches

I push and try
to turn back the tide
Throw myself against the current
The waves break on all sides
Life’s driftwood in abundance

I told myself it would pass
like a dreaming fading in the morning light
