Our Way

Our roots are poisoned We’re falling from the earth Our choice is unconnected There’s only our loss that’s left Our hearts seek reason To understand the barren lies Our souls are distant No one awake knows how to cry Our pain is melting Fusing with our dreams Our every useless comprehension Refuses how to be redeemed The truth is empty The way now lies in fire So dark and wasted Further down the road the shadows are higher The roots are dying The flame now knows how to fly Our world just crumbles Our corpses bury the skies
