There, on pathless heights is freedom There, by shimmering shores is grandeur There, beneath the stars is wisdom Where the sunlight meets with the horizon The silent mountain crown, the windswept melody The river's tranquil voice, the woodland symphony We walk in the shadows to live a concrete lie We disregard the truth of green Earth and of blue sky Desperately we search to understand ourselves Freedom can't be bought, live beyond a price Lost in the future enclosures that we built Removed from the past, disconnection grows Strength through harmony Lost through apathy Discolour the landscape The lifeblood we forsake Consider it progress Decline is our success

Don't fade, withering, vanishing Let go, find release, be at peace Remember the laughter I once knew I retain a piece of yesterday Shroud myself with fragments of the past In a haze of memories and dreams Far too late for chances that I've lost All I want can't be bought or sold Here I lie in time immeasurable All I ask, know me as I was Remaining as a part of you Segregate to lessen our sorrow Disengage, we took away your choice Dependence is all that you have left A shadow of yourself Justify suspension of the end Moralise as we sustain your pain Congregate to false beliefs we hold Comfort in the lies Don't fade to grey, led astray, live for today Becoming colourless, existing motionless

I once thought those days were endless Looking back I still remember The simple thrill of my pulse racing We were alive in every moment I can't ignite these dying embers I'll suffer cold until the morning And though I feel I'm lost, I will not break today Although the storm is dark blue skies emerge from grey I'll leave behind these tracks and push these thoughts aside I'll walk on through the rain and swim against the tide We'll fly with broken wings to reach the distant shore Though the night seems long there will be a dawn

And though we try, the perception will not fade away Consumed in doubt, consumed in desperation Time doesn't slow when long-gone moments seem yesterday Straining for breath, straining for animation Anxiety at the thought of living unfulfilled Condemned to repetition, condemned to tired acceptance Automated we persevere through a world in grey Yearning for a new moment, yearning for another way In suspended animation, repeating the same day We don't pause long enough to even recognise This cage is our construction, and it has an open door The choice is to walk through, or sink helpless to the floor To understand, we all search for meaning The superficial won't wake us from the dream It's only you who can define the way Take hold, seize the moment between past and destiny Pull your head from the sand, see the world at your feet I need to feel alive, I need time to draw breath Find solace in the moment, life burns with every heartbeat Time will not pass me by through lack of consciousness
