lyrics

What Remains

What is left
What remains
Weaving through the shades of grey
Rejecting certainty

What is left
What remains
Flashbacks of what could have been our hopes and dreams

Cuz we’re all living on borrowed time as it is
What is left
What remains

Take a look
Deep within
Grasping for a sign
Of divine intervention

You may think
It’s a test
Blind indifference from your maker
you’re forsaken like the rest

When you’ve lost all faith in sacred claims
What is left
What remains

If you need
A fear of hell
To motivate yourself to find some reason in it all

I don’t know
What to say
I could fight with all my might
But you’ll believe it anyway

It’s only natural
To seek order
Building constructs in our mind
enforcing artificial borders

Jumbled contradictions
in order to stay sane
What is left
What remains

What is left
What remains
I’m still here
You’re still here
Now what are we gonna do?

Who are they fooling?
This ain’t no game
The safe and complacent curse our future for short term gain

We’re all living on borrowed time as it is
What is left
What remains

Resignation
to how or why
there’s no answer to the questions that’ll leave me satisfied

What comes after?
What’s it all for?
Without forward progression
This world’s a fucking chore

Try to remember
the last time you felt alive
I wanna live, not just survive

Take these moments in your hand
The world keeps on turning through the good times and the bad

A planted garden in fresh tilled land
Intentions for a future that the spirit understands

We’re more than a series of successes and mistakes
what is left is what we make
What remains is what we create
