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
