Innocence gives way to the unfortunate truth

Cannot seize the day as we drift further and further

Emptiness prevails

There's nothing left here for us

Following a trail that disappears into the darkness

(Chorus)

The higher we climb

The harder we fall

No chance to decide how the story unfolds

These shattered pieces fill my broken soul

Passions cast aside...

The burden grows deep within

Cravings left to die

The pursuit is left unnurtured

Despair, my only guide

Fathomless is the hatred borne inside

Faltering to confide

For this sorrow, I bear alone

My reverie was broken like a stone cast upon the river's edge

The memory of what the future held is poisoned by my greed

The longer we stay, the faster we die

No reason to cling to the ones that survive

This hollow vision will consume us all
