lyrics

Age to age I feel the same
Like a beast that everyone’s trying to tame
Though every day will leave its mark
I return to true form after dark
Where everything’s in twilight

I did not reserve my name
Is the author or the reader to blame
For pages turned yet left unread
To preserve the space within my head
That ever-present twilight

Oh Lord
Why am I here
Living year to year
Waiting to be restored
I’m getting bored

My life in a biography
Would avoid the honest monotony
Expounding on the precious few
Moments ending all too soon
Now written to define me

Biography to biopic
Something there just wouldn’t click
The acting or cinematography
Or a lack of iconography
Not worth a second viewing

I was born
At a point in time
So confined by time
From beginning to end
And what is eternity?
Is it like a circle
Or more like infinite rays
With linear days
Stretching out infinite ways

The vast expanse of all our lives
Is more eloquent when summarized
Than stretched out over history
One unexciting mystery
I just don’t believe the climax

Oh Lord
Can someone rewrite us
And redesign us
From beginning to end
Unless we are
Some inspired work of art
And set apart
To be restored

Created to be restored
When will we be restored
