Ashengrace - 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
