Procession of the Fates

You make your way, but don't belong
I swear you're not the only one

Is that what you've been dreaming?
Is that what you've been dreaming?

There's other ways of staying strong
Than keeping out the other ones
I feel the light years between what you say and what you mean
You won't get through with that phony confidence
I hear you speak, but nothing is said
You'll be stranded on the other side
Endless nights upon endless nights
Endless nights upon endless nights
You'll be alone
Alone to the grave

There's a place in all of us, the same in everyone
Making right the balances in all of us
Aching, burning, growing, learning and building the world around us
Until our lives are done, we'll share the same emotions
Shed tears of eulogy, then turn to plant our seeds
Still you can't hear me

Call out your name and try to get through
I never hear back, never hear back

And my words became a thousand arrows
Slicing through the endless barricades
So that everyone on earth could hear my call
And I watched for you

Now I know you're putting me on, you've chosen to
Swear off the general population

And all those around you draw to quiet, your eyes dart across the room
But it's just an illusion, the room doesn't exist, there's only you and I
And it's almost like we can't fail at all
Or maybe we've failed already, what you choose to see is real:
A cold dark world of enemies, obstacles you could never overcome
Or a bright future ahead

So tell the whole world and we'll start brand new
Strip the shackles off, let me look at you
If you can't reach out like you've been longing to
I'll have to rethink all that I thought I knew

Call out your name and try to get through
I never hear back, never hear back from you
Call out your name and try to get through
I never hear back, never hear back from you
