Roads deserted, where do I begin? Destiny revealed, drops of rain against our skin You found me in the deepest waters I found you in the hardest of surrenders Do you think we have found what we're looking for Have we become better than who we were before? The past has gone and yet the future awaits The lies have passed yet destiny dictates I sit here, at night, trying out letters on pages Thousands of words, all calm in their cages I swore, better than a thousand wages That I found you, alone and broken at the edges
The emotions have long left me Now I stare dead ahead, I know no liberty The world is all just blind solitude When the rest is done and joy exclude The missing beats, the prayers spent I wasted enough phrases when I know I can't Lie about my sins, I have no story Dead souls, in Hell, have no room for glory Am I sad? Angry? I do not know Am I happy? Vicious? What will I sow? All I know is that life is all but in stages Step by step, would we find each other at the edges?
Promises deserted, will they all come back to you? Fate distracted, who cares about the view? Life is just a jumble of words left unsaid Love is just a pile of feelings, lost and misread Roads not taken, where have they all led? What silent tears could my eyes have shed? sacred keeping, have my veins already bled? We did promise, so now we are all dead Starring in the act of our own mystery Do you know what sounds truly scary? It's the constance of ire and ultimate changes How we stay and fall—we scream at the edges
Now I watch the heavens turn into blood We could have done something to avoid the flood But there is nothing to be done at this point Nothing left hanging by the joyless joint Yet we stayed, we are still here I wonder why—is it because of fear? Because we are different yet the same No one will stay by our side and emerge sane So we stick together, watching our lives fly by We've nowhere to go, except, maybe to die Years went by, days bled into endless ages As I watch us unravel—falling apart at the edges
