Procession Of The Fates - The Human Abstract

You make your way, but don’t belong

I swear you’re not the only one

Is that what you’ve been dreaming?

Is that what you’ve been dreaming?

There’s other ways of staying strong

Than keeping out the other ones

I feel the light years between what you say and what you mean

You won’t get through with that phony confidence

I hear you speak, but nothing is said

You’ll be stranded on the other side

Endless nights upon endless nights

Endless nights upon endless nights

You’ll be alone

Alone to the grave

There’s a place in all of us, the same in everyone

Making right the balances in all of us

Aching, burning, growing, learning and building the world around us

Until our lives are done, we’ll share the same emotions

Shed tears of eulogy, then turn to plant our seeds

Still you can’t hear me

Call out your name and try to get through

I never hear back, never hear back

And my words became a thousand arrows

Slicing through the endless barricades

So that everyone on earth could hear my call

And I watched for you

Now I know you’re putting me on, you’ve chosen to

Swear off the general population

…And all those around you draw to quiet, your eyes dart across the room

But it’s just an illusion, the room doesn’t exist, there’s only you and I

And it’s almost like we can’t fail at all

Or maybe we’ve failed already… what you choose to see is real:

A cold dark world of enemies, obstacles you could never overcome

Or a bright future ahead

So tell the whole world and we’ll start brand new

Strip the shackles off, let me look at you

If you can’t reach out like you’ve been longing to

I’ll have to rethink all that I thought I knew

Call out your name and try to get through

I never hear back, never hear back

Call out your name and try to get through

I never hear back, never hear back from you
