The sun leaves on its own A simple passage of the days that I have wasted I fell the summer slipping through These aging fingers Compelled to walk upon the same path that I have tread so long Still nothing changes A simple passage to a place that I have come to know I still remember A better time When the thoughts that we had connected Between our open eyes We say goodbye, to a life that’s been mostly silent Erroneously lead Strive to complete myself It seems my work is never truly done I see your face, barely through the haze You see a life, erroneously lead There’s hope in younger days There’s warmth within the past that’s so familiar I forget just why I came here I hope that you remember Home All this time I’ve wasted In my self-righteous anger Oh the years I’ve lost To this profound indifference I find my direction A solemn duty owned Mine, it is mine alone To watch this world expire Like machines, we embrace Cold limbs connect A silent, errored life Slipping into oblivion Lead astray through endless days Silent now, the words so loud My mind is drifting out Between perception of a dream and what is real Now all I have is lost with you I hope that you remember A better time When the lights were all so candescent That reached me from the sky We say goodbye, to a life within dead horizons Erroneously lead Strive to escape myself It seems my work is never truly done I see your shape, falter in the wake Of a life erroneously lead
