Lyrics:

Flicker of the parkway lights
Metaphoric reels to write
My memories in exhaust
For what it costs it's worth every penny
When we used to dream of living
Free to be amongst the rest
Who would've guessed we'd be so lost
Without the innocence we left behind
(I seek to find)
Find the answers that I seek
And speak the language of mankind
Beyond the shadow of your doubt
Is something more than you could ever see before.

In all the wedding games
When we made up pretend names
And said forever
Don't ever say never
To a young heart dreaming of tomorrow
Everybody's got their haven
Memories of times worth saving
Cast your eyes into the sky
And daydream as the time goes by.
Cumulous Leviathan
Take me to that place again
I have heard the same clichés
Explain the mysteries of life
But I once heard a wiser man
Say life was always brighter in the summertime.

If your reasoning made sense
If I had just one defense
You'd see that I was just afraid
To meet the debt to which you paid
After all my hesitating
And all the pointless waiting
The hands eternally rotating
Time goes by, Yet here I lay.
My eyes go blind, I'm mystifed

So here we are, [in] this time and place
In space, exists the human race
Revolving unremittingly
Amongst the vast entirety
A rock residing not too far
From just another mid-life star
Hurtle towards the solid ground
And see what you've found was here amongst the clouds.

(Time goes by, Yet here I lay.
My eyes go blind, I'm mystifed) x4
