lyrics

Illusions losing power in the light
Revealing the absence of wonder
That filled the innocent with sight
In my arms no fear of falling under

Damaged hearts replace the story
We used to tell before time for bed
Still found random chances for glory
We overcame enemy myths instead
Though clearly there comes a time
When lifting the world is not an option
Softening with a laugh or a rhyme
Provides no counter to time's toxin
The aim of mistakes may be a mystery
Consider if the insight is worth the journey

(Fix the dream of one more day of bliss
Conjure memories bright and precious
Sun kissed can be saved from the abyss
If I learn to sort the truth from the premise)

The shadow that hovered over seasons
Bringing home real danger we could avoid
Reassessed the weights that were reasons
We waited patiently to be destroyed
In truth I still seek words of wisdom
From the store of many with longer time
Than me for the benefit of the sum
Of experience exceeds new design

(Fix the dream of one more day of bliss
Conjure memories bright and precious
Sun kissed can be saved from the abyss
If I learn to sort the truth from the premise)
