I heard you speaking in past tense
You were starting to make sense
What have we done
I saw that spark in your eye again
Should we even try again
What have we become
We had it all but we stumbled in a moment of weakness
We thought the deepening peace and the quiet was darkness
We meant to let in just a little light
But when the curtain opened we were blinded
we wore the colors acted like the others and turned out
We put ourselves in the firing line 'til we burned out
went one by two into a coal mine
Believed the lie that we'd find gold
I remember when I promised you
That I would have and I would hold
what have we done?
I still love you
I heard you speaking in past tense
and this is not making any sense
What have we done
I saw that spark in your eye again
and I know we gotta try again
what will we become?

This is cool as hell. I feel like I'm adrift in a space between dimensions, dancing amongst hallucinatory fragments of several realities.
In one moment I'm dancing in a courtyard of some ancient technicolor empire. The next it's a little island in the sky of a dreamlike cube-world. So cool! Jank Hambrams
