lyrics

Turning away, blurring our sense of vision
The image fading, now rests in your heart, a drawn emotion
Longing to see beyond a common notion
To know the cost of the pilgrimage soon to be forgotten

Like walls these mirrors stand and hide a wider view
The lone reflection lacks the flesh our selves should pass into
Truth writ in foreign hand, if we only knew
A spirit shared by all, dwindling in an aging few
The glass does not dissolve, our face barring our passage through
These walls, like mirrors, stand

Where should your reflection be,
If never found in the eyes of a stranger?
Now it is yourself you seek
Found in the cadencies of a lost language

Etching this denial into the pillars of the earth
Action with abandon, progress opposing greater worth
Up from stone and marching, never a choice but to conform
Canting our compassion, paving the path our soles have worn
Acting with abandon, progress opposes greater worth
Etching his denial into the pillars of the earth

Turning away, blurring our sense of vision
The image fading, now rests in your heart, a drawn emotion
Longing to see beyond a common notion
To know the cost of the pilgrimage soon to be forgotten

We long to see beyond ourselves
