lyrics

I've been waiting for someone who doesn't exist
spent most of lifetime staring into the abyss

you can pick up the pieces you can shatter it whole
you can struggle your life away and then struggle some more

the end of the story has already been wrote
myths and the legends were just tales that you told
like a line in your song, every tired refrain
we all become what we pretend to be
the untrue story of...

are you still looking for answers or are you just trying to maintain
do you stand outside stoic, cursing the rain??

I've known many versions of you across the years
most of them were true or at least so they appeared

the end of the story has already been wrote
myths and the legends were just tales that you told
like a line in your song, every tired refrain
we all become what we pretend to be
the untrue story of...

I was dreaming of a ledge and an unknowable god
with both arms outstretched I believed I could fall
the future is uncertain, then again so is the past
for whatever it is you were searching, it has surely slipped passed
