Up and Apart

In the dying of this reality

I thought there'd be something left for me

But somehow it all faded, all disappeared

How could we have lost all those years?

You don't seem to remember the ties in old paths

It meant the most to me that's why it's all in my heart

Living 'normality' in ignorance, ignorance our doom

I can't come to terms with the fact it ended so soon.



But then the fucking anger spills

Time makes blood change, blood change kills

No new life for me

I'm living for the memories

Maybe one day a dying mind will help me to return.



Was it the mutilation of our youth

That killed the closeness, buried the truth

Evaporated all the things that stood for us

Time grinding - hideous with rust

Not even a legacy that through all time stands

Your amnesia hurts - history dragged like wire through my hands

Abandoned on this island - reminisce, tears of joy and pain

The one and only child left to play this ancient game.



But then the fucking anger spills

Time makes blood change, blood change kills

No new life for me

I'm living for the memories

Maybe one day a dying mind will help me to return.



At the end of your bodies lease

When your life flashes before your eyes

Will you see me?

Will you see me and smile?

Or regret that you knew me,

Or not know who I am,

Or won't I even be there? Forgotten again.



And now the fucking anger spills

Time makes blood change, blood change kills

No new life for me

I'm living for the memories

Maybe one day a dying mind will help me to return.
