Eight.Six.Eight - Intellectual

This is the place where we started a quest

To find the end of our own lives

Although before it has been said

We must seek so we may find

A better way to be around

This can't be all that's left

Who are the one's that made that sound?

And who are the one's to say what's next?

Looking behind to see our past

And fearing nothing was learnt

All that's there are the charred remains

Of all the bridges that were burnt

When dawn breaks on this day

As thе skies above begin to palе

There's so much to say

So much was lost in the detail

Now there's no sight of where they stood

When they turned their backs

Trying as hard as we can

Before these skies turn black

Thinking back to all the things that have been said we'd be

Everything was clearer at the end of this century

When you cannot find yourself in this time that has been given here

Disconnected from this world to keep your dreams near

Will we ever get the chance

To learn how to just get through?

When you admit to the world

That the sky's falling in on you

Don't you know that you're talking to no one?

Only screaming at the air

Take a look around you now

'Cause you'll see that no one's there

Thinking back to all the things that have been said we'd be

Everything was clearer at the end of this century

When you cannot find yourself in this time that has been given here

Disconnected from this world to keep your dreams near

All the wishes that were made

About all the things to be

Have not come to life

But still it's all not seen

Nothing more will come from this

A truth that's too dry to swallow

So ignore it and make another wish

Forgetting that it's gonna be hollow

Thinking back to all the things that have been said we'd be

Everything was clearer at the end of this century

But the time has already and you really have nothing left

How to handle a fact like that and that's the final test

When you cannot find yourself in this time that has been given here

Disconnected from this world to keep your dreams near

These dreams we have we hold so close but none were ever said

Yet we cannot wait for tomorrow to come even though all these dreams are dead
