lyrics

He woke up one morning, felt more empty than usual, could’ve been any other day
How can it be he doesn’t even realize he should hope things should change?

Wond’ring aloud – lost in the crowd

Why does he bother to get out of bed at all? It’s such a waste of precious time
Motionless he’s pushed along his life’s assembly line
Still there must be something he could do

He’s ushered to work, lost in the mass migration of the endless motion machine
Stumbling through life, he’s just a puppet, someone else’s hands on the controls

Lost in the crowd – awkward and loud

Everywhere he goes but no one notices he’s trapped inside of his shell
No one notices he doesn’t even know himself is it just as well?

He should have been dead a long time ago

Arriving at work he glances down at his watch, snatches a brief glimpse of memory
He’s ill-prepared for the uneasiness beginning to gnaw at his soul

Awkward and loud – helpless and proud

How can he rectify the images he’s just been shown and still get through his day?
Images that shock him in a most unusual way
He’s no clue’ve the mess he’s slipped into

He struggles at first keeps his emotions at bay but then gets raped by infinity
Suddenly thoughts of former hopes and dreams go surging through his fragile mind

Helpless not proud – lost in the clouds

He slowly comes to realize his life`s become what he vowed it`d never be
Should he change it if he can and if he does then what will become of me?

You should have been dead a long time ago

Tears of ecstacy are smeared all over his face as he reflects on what might have been
Is it too late if he recovers from this shock could he start once again?

Lost in the clouds – veiled in a shroud
Veiled in a shroud – life disavowed

I should have been dead a long time ago
