Some dreams are never too far away

They dance just on the edge of daylight

Etched into your eyes, ghost movement in the peripheral

Some thoughts are never too far away

They sit behind the daylight like shadows

Tattooed on your skin, fingerprints of who you'll be tomorrow

(oh) vicious engineer

If I believed, your name would be a curse

For what frigid loathing would inspire

This broken planet's birth?

I would twist from your grasp

Shudder against the coldness of your gaze

Nothing would restore the absence of faith

We are alone

Unable to change

Marching in circles, we end as we begin

(oh_ callous overseer

If only in your image we were made

Graced with indifference, this path would be so clear

Uncaring, all-knowing, complete

But we are alone

And you were but a desperate dream

Some meaning to offer

And I cannot believe

For we are alone

Unable to change

Marching in circles, we end as we begin

...the feelings rush back again so fast

Like only moments passed

Cinematic in their tension

But there I sit, frozen stiff

Every word a cliché

Time still laughs

"relax" she'll coax

Her face a twisted grin

"never will you be far from home"

You are never free

Something deep inside still nags

Like this light has met my face before

And we march on, afraid

For I know we'll always meet again
