After The Fact

After the Fact



Things are slow and not as well as they used to be

I think I can trust myself

We're supposed to conquer the earth

Before the earth takes us...



That's what we're in for

The risk of comfort never ends

We'll take the stars, the moon and the sun

We'll take what we need from the sky



Euphony is what I seek

It could heal us both

Since we have transformed ourselves

To the catacombs of morale



It's what we're in for

The fear of death seems to fade

We'll take the stars, the moon and the sun

We'll take what we need from the sky



Things are slow and not as well as they used to be

I'll tell what I need, but I don't think you know just what I mean

It's after the fact and our lives are caving in

Or maybe it's just my own...



This is what I mean

I let my self-consciousness disappear

The stars, the moon, and the sun are gone

And the heavens will shimmer with delight
