lyrics

Innocence lost, fading indifference
Meanings lost by actions, backed by broken words

Words broken to land on deaf ears
Silence ringing ever blinding,
blinding to the edge of silence

What are we, but our words, and actions
Stripped to broken words and promises
Time spreads thin, and clings to a feather
Floating

Falling back
(Keep me close, and hold trust)
Cycles leading back to you
(When we used to dream, this life)
And why we've held on

Mistakes made from idle hands
Ideals lost and fade away
