Your face expresses its years so seriously
As the lamplight draws dark circles 'round your eyes
And your mouth twists unexpected fade into its natural shape
And turns the dark into another form of light

Time expresses itself so suddenly
And people pass like strangers in the night
They're just doing what they think is right
On into another way of life
Where the dark is just another form of light

Every single thing I ever hoped to see
I held in my hands in the hope
I'd never turn into the man I'm expected to be
And what you hold in your hands is lost to memory

Dry your eyes around circles
That you've been pointing to the ocean
On an undertow of all our lonely hearts
But solitude feels the same, whoever you blame
Don't let darkness become another form of light

Every single thing I ever hoped to see
I held in my hands in the hope
I'd never turn into the man I'm expected to be
Now I know that nothing is lost to memory
