Reach
from Skipping Stones by Forging Reverie
lyrics
Do you see them standing there, spineless
Arid, gray and shapeless
Waiting to be seen...?
They're nothing more than silhouettes
Cut out and then pasted
From the pages of a dream...
Still they're wandering, aimless
Robots in their places
Learning how to breathe...
Though they all remain nameless
I know all of their faces
Used to look a lot like me...
So many barriers
To be broken when we're near
They're all so paper-thin
When distance hides our fear, but I
Can't stop thinking
If only you were here
I would understand...
There's more to find - There's more to feel - Now is the time...
I've watched them stammering, brainless
Stuttering as if they've
Forgotten how to speak...
They are the hopeless romantics
Burned out and wasted
The dying breed...
So now they hide in open cages
Waiting patiently, as if
They don't want to be free...
Though they all remain faceless
They're mirrors, clear and stainless
Of the one I used to see...
So many barriers
To be broken when we're near
They're all so paper-thin
When distance hides our fear, but I
Can't stop thinking
If only you were here
I would understand...
There's more to find - There's more to feel - Now is the time...
(All you have to do is reach!)
As fortunes fade with youth
I ask you once again
How long will you wait to
Scar your sterling skin?
A gap in your defenses
Begs to let them in
Do you understand...?
There's more to find - There's more to feel - Now is the time...
All you have to do is reach!
Arid, gray and shapeless
Waiting to be seen...?
They're nothing more than silhouettes
Cut out and then pasted
From the pages of a dream...
Still they're wandering, aimless
Robots in their places
Learning how to breathe...
Though they all remain nameless
I know all of their faces
Used to look a lot like me...
So many barriers
To be broken when we're near
They're all so paper-thin
When distance hides our fear, but I
Can't stop thinking
If only you were here
I would understand...
There's more to find - There's more to feel - Now is the time...
I've watched them stammering, brainless
Stuttering as if they've
Forgotten how to speak...
They are the hopeless romantics
Burned out and wasted
The dying breed...
So now they hide in open cages
Waiting patiently, as if
They don't want to be free...
Though they all remain faceless
They're mirrors, clear and stainless
Of the one I used to see...
So many barriers
To be broken when we're near
They're all so paper-thin
When distance hides our fear, but I
Can't stop thinking
If only you were here
I would understand...
There's more to find - There's more to feel - Now is the time...
(All you have to do is reach!)
As fortunes fade with youth
I ask you once again
How long will you wait to
Scar your sterling skin?
A gap in your defenses
Begs to let them in
Do you understand...?
There's more to find - There's more to feel - Now is the time...
All you have to do is reach!
