lyrics
Alone in my head while I aimlessly stare at a wall
Projections of dreams that have faded like floors in a mall
And all of the purpose that they used to bring
I am now a shadow cast down from that nothing
My god what a fling…
Alone in my head with the Idol I’ve made of myself
And a series of mirrors I’ve constructed to show nothing else
Albeit effective, I cannot compete
With all those reflections, their gorgeous deceit
And all of the progress they used to bring
I am now a shadow cast down from that nothing
I can’t help but feel I’ve lost myself
Turned into something else I thought I’d want
I can’t take feeling I’ve been erased
It’s hard to find that place when everything’s lost
Alone in my head while I aimlessly stare at a wall
Cracks in the plaster, paint fading, it’s starting to fall
And I feel no comfort, though I feel no pain
A bit disillusioned; uninspired
Waiting in absence, I glance towards a screen
And see only shadows cast down from their nothing
I can’t help but feel I’ve lost myself
Turned into something else I thought I’d want
I can’t take feeling I’ve been erased
It’s hard to find that place when everything’s lost
I’m born of the past and my blood/DNA
Reflects the volition of fine chevalier
Their scribbling of nations, ambition, social pentecost
But I’ve seen the statistics, I know where it goes
And I haven’t the heart left to watch it unfold
It’s hard to hear progress when years keep on screaming their cost
My god what we’ve lost…
My god what we’ve lost…
My god what we’ve lost…
My god what we’ve lost…
My god what we’ve…
Projections of dreams that have faded like floors in a mall
And all of the purpose that they used to bring
I am now a shadow cast down from that nothing
My god what a fling…
Alone in my head with the Idol I’ve made of myself
And a series of mirrors I’ve constructed to show nothing else
Albeit effective, I cannot compete
With all those reflections, their gorgeous deceit
And all of the progress they used to bring
I am now a shadow cast down from that nothing
I can’t help but feel I’ve lost myself
Turned into something else I thought I’d want
I can’t take feeling I’ve been erased
It’s hard to find that place when everything’s lost
Alone in my head while I aimlessly stare at a wall
Cracks in the plaster, paint fading, it’s starting to fall
And I feel no comfort, though I feel no pain
A bit disillusioned; uninspired
Waiting in absence, I glance towards a screen
And see only shadows cast down from their nothing
I can’t help but feel I’ve lost myself
Turned into something else I thought I’d want
I can’t take feeling I’ve been erased
It’s hard to find that place when everything’s lost
I’m born of the past and my blood/DNA
Reflects the volition of fine chevalier
Their scribbling of nations, ambition, social pentecost
But I’ve seen the statistics, I know where it goes
And I haven’t the heart left to watch it unfold
It’s hard to hear progress when years keep on screaming their cost
My god what we’ve lost…
My god what we’ve lost…
My god what we’ve lost…
My god what we’ve lost…
My god what we’ve…
