After Aristotle - Nyctus

Reality somehow went on ahead
Left behind a shell of what used to be
Bright eyed optimism
Instead I'm counting up things in other people's hands
Asking the universe to meet my demands
Why do we only think of the light
When our shadows start to expand?
Was I always so afraid of the dark?
I can't remember but I've been learning to walk
With my eyes closed just to prepare
What if the lights go off and no one else is there?
Had this weight on my chest for so long
Had to learn how to breathe again, let go of the ego
Relocate the core of who I am
Find the light I lost when I gave in
Was I always so afraid of the dark?
I can't remember but I've been learning to walk
With my eyes closed just to prepare
What if the lights go off and no one else is there?
Was I always this angry at myself?
Managed by the mirrors inside my cells
See with too much empathy sets in complacency
Wish I could set fire to my selfish fucking tendencies
I know this bridge is on fire but the river's underneath it
So maybe we can still put it out
If I find enough buckets
I know this need for closure is far less than logical
But I can't go back to a time
When I was above it
I won't always be the best I can but I can always try
I won't always be the best I can but I can always try
I won't always be the best I can but I can always try
I won't always be the best I can but I can always try
Was I always so afraid of the dark?
I can't remember but I've been learning to walk
With my eyes closed just to prepare
What if the lights go off and no one else is there?
Was I always this angry at myself?
Managed by the mirrors inside my cells
See with too much empathy sets in complacency
Wish I could set fire to my selfish fucking tendencies
