Field of Ashes

A courtesy laugh, a sympathy smile
A single thing to get me by
I think I did the math, and yeah it's been a while
A feeling that I can't define
Off my mind

I've waited all these years to see you in the mirror
And find a way beneath the surface
We share the same fear, alone we're standing here
Just trying to fulfill the purpose
And all of them are off, there's too many to blame
They run around our field of ashes
Just chalk it up to luck, no skill within the game
You gotta pick me up, I'm crashing down

You shot me to the stars, I drove you to the moon
I'm living in the space behind
We took it pretty far, too much too soon
A separation of design
Off my mind

I've waited all these years to see you in the mirror
And find a way beneath the surface
We share the same fear, alone we're standing here
Just trying to fulfill the purpose
No one is safe, we're not okay
It's harder to resist temptation
No further way to educate
Our words are floating in translation now
