From A Distance lyrics

from a distance I see this cynical world has come to be

everything that it promised it never would become
from a distance I see the curtains draw to a close
on the dreamers and poets and all that you love
goes down with the setting sun

their words are written in stone, their faces adorned with gold
I`ve been to their sages and the wisdom of ages
but I`ve never been this cold
with cheshire cat smiles they shattered this trust
I used to have gold but it soon became dust
I don`t believe in god, I don`t believe in love,
but I`ve always believed in you

from a distance I feel the fabrics open in down in your eyes
holding close, holding fast, but always holding me down
in an instant I try to open these wings unlearning to fly
face up to the rain asleep in the stale underground

their words are written in stone, their faces adorned with gold
I`ve been to their sages and the wisdom of ages
but I`ve never been this cold
with all that you love, and all that you need
no matter how long you try to believe
in the dreams that won`t come and the words
that won`t go either way, in the end you know

one foot on the staircase, one foot on the plains
either way i`ll be waiting for you in the sun and the rain
I`ve never been this high, I`ve never slipped this low
the things that I dream, the dreams that I love
are the only things left that you`ll never know

you`ll never know
