Enlightenment comes at the cost of blissful ignorance. This set of lyrics expresses and mourns the loss (or waste) of time spent consuming the ideas of others. Accepting thoughts whilst having none of ones own.
Awoke from the slumber
The lapse of time
I have got nothing to show for it
Entertained but not enlightened
Recalling today
For a trace of tomorrow
Being one without a lifespan
New thoughts must follow
The daylight draws to me
And the surroundings are not what they used to be
Lights fill up space
In a solitary place
Walls consumed
All the knowledge harvested along the way
Watching the others
This stagnant state gall the hardened heart
A pace towards an early grey
Is there life before death?
Planted firmly with an abundance of time and no sun
If there is life before death, I live it through you
