we dream of places we can t get to we crawl we swim it s never ending the crests of tidal waves are raging the bitter lake is ever changing a conscious ocean covered planet of memories flooding back to drown me uncertain lost in deep confusion is this the past that s passing through me close your eyes stand your ground face the wind never looking back the ancient prophecy unfolded distracted minds ignored the warnings confronting facts to prove the fiction right to the point of mass extinction we flirted with the edge of darkness offered ourselves unto the harvest the shepherd led we blindly followed into the world of no tomorrow break me down to pieces and strip me of my freedom i fall back on my instincts but never know the reason why all hope disappearing gives the power of healing i ll walk among the breathing but never understand what it means we need a story to believe in we need a hero to prevail  our design shifted frame by frame across the line our cycle starts to fail our design shifted frame by frame across the line we die to live again we need a story to believe in we need a hero to prevail we need a challenge we can overcome it takes a tragedy to make us one 2
