In Another Now

In another now
The words we speak
Will fade away
And mean nothing to me.

We are an avalanche of doubt
Suffocating in the wake
Passed the point of no return
The rivers like the devil's veins will guide the way
Our crysalis in chains
We've outstayed our welcome under a thirstful sun.

Like an island lost at sea
Naive to science the water eats away
And all we do is preach a way
To cure what we can't keep.

In another now
The words we speak
Will fade away
And mean nothing to me.

It means something to me.

I climb to the top of the mountain
And found another towering over me.

At the edge without intention or sense
To find a destiny kept behind the fence
That she tempts us to ascend
Lock the gate, hide the keys
Take the pain that we feel and call it hope
Why do we destroy everything we try to love?

Take the pain that we feel and call it hope
We destroy everything we try to love
Again and again our vice tradition
When will we learn our rapture is our prison?

Like an island lost at sea
Naive to science the water eats away
And all we do is preach a way
To cure what we can't keep.

And mean nothing to me.

It means something to me.

It's mine but it's probably stolen
Paid the price but it's probably free
For a life unprescribed, an escape from the lines
I can survive if I know you are we.
