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
