This cold world has forsaken us
We chose to destroy and conceal
What came before is gone & lost
We had a chance but said no deal

Now we sit alone in a barren existence
We knew this day would come
Fate has taken what we love
There isn’t a reason, just an absolute

There is no way back to before
There is no road to take us home
We can not find our way back
But there is a life beyond the fray

Strengthen your resolve
Engage the insides you drag
Nothing is set
This is what you’re here for

Don’t make the same mistakes they did
Stand against the spiralling chaos
Create something for the ages
Be the hope that loss clings to

We chose the wrong path
We were the ones who gave up hope
We created this world
You can be the one to rebuild it

Summer sun is radiant and bright
winter has gone to the other side
You kiss me & I hold you tight
I see you try to find, but I'll hide

Simple people with simple dreams
Nothing special in this ordinary world
It's me & you, no need for teams
Stars shining bright, clouds they swirled

Its your laugh I love, my smile you like
Walk with me to the side of the sun
You have a voice, sit close to the mic
Together a voice that will stun

Simple people with simple dreams
I've walked along this path for years
This life proved it wasn't all it seems
I've got so much love, no more tears

Our hands entwined in the cold
There is no larger story or plot
If you can remember what I told
Love is all we need & that's not a lot
Do we connect like we used to?
Wires crossed & cables frayed
Please tell me what to do
I know you wanted to go, but yet you stayed

Is there a reason we do this?
No, we can’t find a way out of here
If you fell from here, would I miss?
This isn’t right, everything is unclear

Have I asked you why you love me?
The pain isn’t here anymore
I want to see who you want to be
There is a way out, through an open door

Focus your thoughts right now
The moment is upon both of us
I just need to know how
From the cliff I go, without fuss

This fall isn’t long, it’s silent
I see you look down, then away
This pain is strong, so violent
I knew you had to go, I know I can not stay
E
The time is here, it is here for you and me
We prayed for this moment to come for them
They can feel freedom, the feel of a tree
The basis of existence, it begins with a stem

You & me, we have become all but one
The gates have fallen, the walls have crushed
The prisoners are unfollowed, the wardens gone
It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t fun, the feeling was rushed

I knew this journey would be one to remember
Everything I knew would be colourful, understood
The crisp feeling like snow falling in December
They will know that feeling, I knew they could

My fight is over now, the battle, the war is won
Their lives can begin, they can find their space
It may not have been truth, but the mask that I don
I wore so that these beings could have truth, a true HOPE…
P
Can you feel the energy rising?
Understanding is not just for the minority
You want this but are you just disguising?
Understanding is all for the majority

We have fingers, we have toes
They have their own versions
The story is simple, that is the way it goes
Make it a journey, so many excursions

Fascinated by the joy that comes after this
It isn’t a dream anymore, it could be something better
They don’t know it yet, they will still miss
I knew there could be a place beyond, with her

Step ahead into the sunshine, the walls are fading
It still hurts to believe the pain inside
Our drive and fear will be trading
One more step into our path and we glide
O
Quaking in their boots, there is a battle ahead
We haven’t stepped back into our shadows yet
The crops are rising, the hunger is fed
On the hills is where we have met

Shouting my name, hearing the calls
It’s a pain that only you can feel
Their hope is something that falls
Inside their coffins, the will kneel

Honesty is lost to the translations erased
Question the advertisements that fill our faces
Convenience is the life that is traced
One day there will be no more spaces

Quote the past for its innocence
Believe the tradition that keeps us apart
Life is not true, it is an essence
A second to see where we can start
