The World Without Us

Patience All things will come to an end in due time No need to hurry on And let the future slip away carelessly As if in passing suns We hadn't learned anything Do you remember the days we spent dreaming? As the stars above us fall from the sky And the void surrounds us The end and beginning intertwine In an unparalleled descent We sleep easy all in due time There are times when When the words seem so close to me To act upon what I cannot speak Color quickly running inward We align together in vision and in time Do I possess the ability to wander on? To take control? To exist once and for all Against the weight of my own reflection? All that I had ever wanted Was to belong to something greater than What I had ever envisioned I have been granted the dream but will I ever find the courage? And I will face the dark with my mind open Ears to the ground one with every passing moment
