lyrics

remember when we so attracted to empowerment?
remember the circus, the spirit itself, like tasting God?

remember the flashes before our eyes?
remember the black trails, the long walks, that brought us solace?

so wrapped up in the reality of existence
look at the people, look at their faces
I’m the chatter that keeps them sane

so this is how it’s going to be
every second a new adventure
I will view each page a panel
forgetting faces, houses and lights
to exist in the moment

there’s a certain truth that hides in those who say why not
content to be quiet and observant, not sure they’re drifting

air can be anything
for those who paint with energy
and silence.

and remember the thoughts that always pushed through?
remember the adventures, the memories, the dreams slipping away?
if we weren’t walking backwards we’d miss the view
