lyrics

1:

There was a moment, a single second -
Of my time
Where worlds collided and thoughts divided -
They would align
The past reflecting, a fractured feeling -
That we define
The complication, to shape existence -
To our design

2:

My recollection and this connection -
Is fading fast
A quick correction, a new inflection -
Will erase the past
Don't raise objection, to my direction -
And this contrast
The next projection, of introspection -
Infinite and vast

PC:

I couldn't get -
Through to you
You concealed what you were
You darkened my point of view

C:

You weren't there
When I needed you
Now I'm self-aware
And I'm someone new

3:

This situation and past stagnation -
Have since expired
This translation, my transformation -
Has transpired
Strange salvation, a new location -
As I've desired
Station to station, this sound sedation -
That I'd required

PC:

I never got -
Close to you
Did you ever let your guard down -
Were you who I knew?

C:

You weren't there -
When I needed you
Now I'm self-aware
And I'm someone new
