Panacea and the Prelogue

[Verse 1]
Wait inside by the fire and we'll talk a while
I didn't mean to let the years go by, waiting for love
Have we come to terms with the lesson that our fathers learned?
Impermanent, it flows away, everything goes away
I'd follow you, but not this time

[Chorus]
So I walk in streets unknown
Our bodies and their silver just a loan
I'm sorry that I let you down, let you down a lifetime ago
I wanna say to all I leave behind and to those I'll never find
That I need you to understand, understand
You're not on your own

[Verse 2]
Hold in mind
What you value, is it worth the time?
The only melodies that I could ever call mine
Were friendship and lust
Will I feel absolved at the moment when we have it solved?
A panacea for the absent soul, still it's never enough
I'd follow you, but not this time

[Chorus]
So I walk in streets unknown
Our bodies and their silver just a loan
I'm sorry that I let you down, let you down a lifetime ago
I wanna say to all I leave behind and to those I'll never find
That I need you to understand, understand
You're not on your own, you're not on your own

[Bridge]
For the art, I will sing most anything
We are worlds apart, I can do it all
For the art, I will sing most anything
We are worlds apart, I can do it all
For the art, I will sing most anything
We are worlds apart, I can do it all
Lines fade out, but you illuminate
The path back home, the path you've shown me
As lines fade out, you will illuminate
And lead a way back home, back home

[Outro]
Lines fade out (For the art)
But you illuminate the path back home (I will sing most anything)
We are worlds apart (As lines fade out)
I can do it all (Lines fade out / back home)
Lines fade out (Made me realize, better on the inside)
(This was the moment, this was the place, this was the night that everything changed)
Lines fade out (Are you listening? Are you listening?)
(We're not just numbers, we are alive, a digital haunt in an analogue life)
Lines fade out (To be something)
(From my skin so I can grow)

[Outro]
For the art, I will sing most anything
We are worlds apart, I can do it all
