Wasted Potential

New paradigm
Drifting out of time
Existence has turned into an empty space
Matter decayed to nothing
Existence has turned into an empty space
This life we held in highest praise
Was only a screenplay
All the things we had and touched
Will return to dust
Speak tell me what you see
Give away the nefarious perceptions of your mind
Your life couldn't matter more, not all to the human kind
Give us your final statement before you stop to breathe
A disgusting reflection
In front of the mirror
A man who lost his face
Who wants nothing to face
Even this closing door
This door is closing,
The light is dimming, there's no turning back
(Fade Away)
Always thought we were the ones
Who could aim for the sky and even outshine the sun and stars
Instead I'm trapped behind bars
Inside this prison of gilded illusions
Choosing from what was in fact a delusion
Time to rise up from the mud
To transcend this flesh and blood
