As the stars stare down Life flows around me in slow motion Like snapshots that are taken from a dream sequence Haunting my insignificance The photographs captured from when you were young The passing breeze of time is swelling my lungs When my sun has set, will it shine golden? Will my time on earth lead to one moment? Carve your love into my bones Harvest what's left of my hope Manifest what means the most Etch your grace into my veins Help me build a fail-safe To endure the fire and flames Hold me down and open up my eyes The oceans sigh of the great divide Weaving webs of wisdom Voicing lullabies, time is sending shivers down my spine Neither fate nor freedom has been written Animate empathy, shed your light on me The memories gathered from your youth What they don't teach in school, is that you'll always seek truth So paint me gold for a future that is doomed Paint me gold Carve your love into my bones Harvest what's left of my hope Manifest what means the most Etch your grace into my veins Help me build a fail-safe To endure the fire and flames Hold me down and open up my eyes The oceans sigh of the great divide Weaving webs of wisdom Voicing lullabies, time is sending shivers down my spine Neither fate nor freedom has been written Animate empathy, shed your light on me
