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 cliche /
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
