Through the lens of despair The well of information It seeps the foundation once more Through the scope of the lies We're craving declaration Without dedication And through no fault of our own We're failing Safe to say we neglect the wound The moments passing by so slow Reduced to machines and delay We treasure the memories and swallow the key Embracing the one we used to hate (Used to hate...) Stand together as one, a lonesome celebration Secluded, we share and inform Stare into the abyss, avoid the conversation A dead concentration And as we revel in time It's over! Safe to say we neglect the wound The moments passing by so slow Reduced to machines and delay We treasure the memories and swallow the key Embracing the one we used to be We neglect the ones who care We forge pretenses in what we share We neglect what matters most Sick to say we neglect the wound The moments passing by so slow Reduced to machines and delay Hold onto the memories and cast them away Embracing the glimpse of yesterday Cornerstones of the past Buildings that last forever
