Perpetuate by Elision Lyrics

In the lands where I lost you
In the realm of deception construed
Why does it take all forms of pain
To return light into my mind?

I can't feel my hands
My feet are numb
As I stand alone
Slowly winding undone

Perception flees as my senses loosen
And I lose sight of me
I feel I can only know
I'm not alone

I am but one among
The tides of man
And all I see around me
Is the glimmers of the past
Snippets of what is to come
Nothing seems real
Right here right now
In front of me
History just repeats
And all seems to stay the same
And yet I feel something deep that's worth all the pain
I've seen it in you

Does it ever make sense?
Will I ever relent?
Will the ground and earth make way for me?

Does growth truly signal the end of descent?
Or does it just leave space for another accident?

I am but one among
The tides of man
And all I see around me
Is the glimmers of the past
Snippets of what is to come
Nothing seems real
Right here right now
In front of me
