lyrics

Why?

Why is life not where we are right now?

From wind to wave
become the trough and crest
twist and shift with the flow

The waves are the ocean
as we are existence
It is one with us as we are with it
We rise and we fall with the tide

Way beyond our civilization
There's still time for a release
In the darkest hour
They still won't fail to catch us at all

I feel like I’m waking up after never going to sleep

Coast as you may
We’re living for today
Drift on and on and on

Why the panic?
Why the rush?
To find meaning more than ourselves?
We’re devolving,

Fight against the minds that are not your own

It's the shift
The rise and set of the sun
We must breathe
We must shine the sun

Cast the sun a bounty
Buried under
Waltzing light escapes
The soul remains
A violent vessel
clearing out to reach
the air around us
bearing all the weight
led them under
captive vaults awake
It’s all around us
gave the walls a break
all that bound us
gazing underneath

A masquerade
In a world without faces, we dance away
In the loneliest places
In a world without faces, we dance away.

Way beyond our civilization
There's still time for a release
In the darkest hour
They still won't fail to catch us at all

The waves are the ocean
As we are existence
It is one with us as we are with it
We rise and we fall with the tide
