Requiem

I never chose this
Shadowed by the place that I
Could never dream I'd hide from

Dust to shell the soul
It's all we've ever known
Severing the flow
Dust to shell the soul
It's all we've ever known
Lights fading
Returns us whole, as one

Standing on the fault line
Is it something that I've missed
I've traveled too far

Out of reach, no ground in sight
No where to rest, my soul
Running from the broken lies
Coming home tomorrow

Here we are
As what we are
Confused and far smaller
Than we all believe

Hold it in your hand
Lay it on the line
Help me now to understand
You tread upon the other side
Lay it on the line
Then we can see
Made up of an open mind
Forged upon a memory

I can't bring you back to me
But still have the will to carry on
Sunken under my skin
Time has come
To dispel the air of ill repute
Pushing through our inner space
Time has come
Channel a change

I'll not beg you to realize
This world is my truth
