Dust of Former Lives

There are so many souls That will never ever meet So many places That we'll never get to see When weeks turn to years In a blink of an eye And we can no longer deny We chose quieter times And the comfort of lies We surrendered ourselves to the tide We followed our leaders Cause we thought they were strong They promised us freedom In exchange for our souls We drank all the potions But we still felt alone Jumping over the shadow And into the light Our vices grow lazy And sleep through the night Sand is turning to dust of former lives We abandoned And if there's a chance to go travel in time Would you go back And alter your own storyline? We're following patterns That are easy to find And it's getting hard to deny We are flawed by design The insatiable kind There's no end to this longing inside We followed our leaders Cause we thought they were strong They promised us freedom In exchange for our souls We drank all the potions But we still felt alone Jumping over the shadow And into the light Our vices grow lazy And sleep through the night Sand is turning to dust of former lives We abandoned We say that we're old enough But what does that mean? We have all the things we were told we should have We say that we're young enough We're counting the days It will never be enough We followed our leaders Cause we thought they were strong They promised us freedom In exchange for our souls We drank all the potions But we still felt alone Jumping over the shadow And into the light Our vices grow lazy And sleep through the night Sand is turning to dust of former lives We abandoned There are so many souls that will never ever meet
