Echoes

It feels like I'm looking at the ruins of a world I never knew

There's something that I'm missing here

But what the hell am I supposed to do

I know that it was coming fast but did you even try to dodge the train

I guessed you figured when the impact came

You'd already be in the grave

So here's congratulations

You played the game so well

You left us only ashes

Our hope drained and left bare

The naive are still preaching

The enlightened have all left

We're dancing to the echoes

Of a life we never lived

And the saddest part of all

Is I stopped trying so long ago

I'm too jaded

And too pathetic

To try and cure this

Sickness

This is so hypocritic

Indignation all in vain

But how can I condemn the masses

When I know our crime is the same

So I'll dance to the echoes

Of a life I don't deserve

Good luck to all those after

Because you're on your fucking own
