lyrics

What had I missed?
Nothing exists in the way that I thought that it did.
We pull we resist.
Carving a path to our place in all this.

So what are we if not the sum of all things?
You and I, our atoms collide and they twist.
How simple to see;
After all it would seem that without you I cannot be me.

I watch us now through the screen.
Doomed to repeat all the same things again.
What is real now it can’t be unseen?
Floating through life like the ghosts inside this machine.

I lay for a while in the light at the end of the world;
It was glorious. Radiant. Silver and cold.
Screaming, dissolving and watching my whole life
Unfolding before me, beginning to end.

No purpose no meaning, I’m done with believing
There’s anything more I could be.
It’s just you.
And me.
The ocean.
The breeze.
It all comes to nothing, you see,
But that’s all I could need.

I’ve seen how it all ends.
Seen how reality shifts and it bends.
We can no longer pretend
That we were the ones deciding.
