Before We Fade - Tristam

If the road of truth is fine

Which one of us is out of line?

Although you say you can prove more

I can feel it down to my core

In a world where our word’s gold

I sit and believe what I’m told

But in this blue world filled with bones

I’ll just keep dancing on my own

It’s a useless waste of time

I don’t care what’s on your mind

The truth was never for us to find

We could lock horns all day

But really, who cares what we say?

We will be lost before we fade

I can almost hear it cry

This feeling you somehow deny

Just how do you fail to hear

The roaring grinding of your gears?

As you dictate the laws

Your future self unearths the flaws

And some of us who are awake

Watch as you are fixing your mistakes

By and by, you’ll understand

The subtle movements of the land

Within the limits of these chains

There’s only so much to explain

One day you will find this wall

The one that’s infinitely tall

And as we move the hour hand

Are we just dancing in the sand?

It’s a useless waste of time

I don’t care what’s on your mind

The truth is never for us to find

We could lock horns all day

But really, who cares what we say?

We will be lost before we fade
