lyrics

Slowly fading in the back of my mind
There’s all this lost time
But wasn’t I there
I wasn’t there
To varying degrees

That’s the lost time
Won't be the last time
In those moments
I surrender to doubt
I’m overcome with doubt

But what about the spent time
Wasn’t I there
To varying degrees

In those moments
I’m unencumbered 
I don’t doubt my presence 
I don’t doubt

I found myself walking in a beautiful place
The grasses around me were so lush, glowing green
And burgeoning waters were glistening
Under a brilliant sun
Wandering the valley of the golden skeletons

One of those ancients lifted its skull
A sentinel waiting where the path had flooded
This curious creature asked innocently
A question whose answer betrayed my mortality

And with that reminder
Like a punch in the gut
I had to admit
That this place was not home for me
This world I suddenly had to leave

All of those ancients
Resting their skulls
Sentinels watching
Eternal youth stumble

Curious creatures
Ask innocently
Questions whose answers
Dictate our realities

It’s a reminder
Like punch in the gut
This place goes on without me
Suddenly I’ll have to leave
And it's hard to accept
