Familiar Faces

Ebb and flow of a hidden grove
Steal the light, they'll never know
A tragic smile grew from nothing
They were holding on to something
Keep the pace that we knew was safe
Live a life to forget the day

Familiar faces
Crawling back to their distant places
Did the puzzle ever fit before
We let the pieces fall to the floor

Piece by worthless piece
These games are recreation
For none who play
The mind will mold and drift away
Before we know
The meaning of reason, our choice or creation
We'll never know
We'll never know
Keep the pace that we knew was safe
Live a life to forget the day

Familiar faces
Crawling back to their distant places
Did the puzzle ever fit before
We let the pieces fall to the floor
Our grave is a treasury
My name became a memory
We leave behind all that grows
And in the end we will never know

And in the jaws of darkness we lean on abnegation
The grinding teeth of death unlocked between them
The marrow screams to breathe its last

Familiar faces
Crawling back to their distant places
Did the puzzle ever fit before
We let the pieces fall to the floor
Our grave is a treasury
My name became a memory
We leave behind all that grows
And in the end we will never know
