We’re figures in a forest full of haunting trees,
brushing shoulders with death to make sure we’re alive.
With the whole world ahead, and our hearts left behind.
Every word burns, branding broken souls.
Pushing to move on. Soon we will be home.
Closed off, we wake from the dusk… (the dusk)
only to step out into open air, just to see the same clouds opening. (Yahh)
Into open air… only to step out…
If this is a place people dream of, (people dream of)
insomnia is the only cure - the only antidote.
You’ve been deceived into thinking this is the perfect life.
It’s an illusion to your perception. You’ve been deceived.
I wish time was still ancient so I could bridge the gap (bridge the gap)
between here, between there, between you and I. (between you and I)
Frustration is setting in. I am seeing red. (I’m seeing red)
This blessing is a curse. I am seeing red. (I am seeing red)
Counting all the things that I took for granted. Counting down the days.
Watching the clock as it just stands still… to just sail away, sail away, sail away.
Waiting for the morning that takes me home, that takes me home, to take me home.
This bittersweet dream that I dreamt. Oh Pangaea.
All of this is worth every penny - every cent.
I would give back everything just to be back… back home.
This is a bittersweet dream I’ve dreamt. Oh Pangaea, where have you gone?
I’m at all four corners of this world. Oh Pangaea, what have you done?
This is a bittersweet dream I’ve dreamt. Oh Pangaea, where have you gone?
I’m at all four corners of this world. Pangaea, what have you done?
August Burns Red — Pangaea
It just dawned on me why teenagers never like to stay home. They always want to be out and about with friends or doing something.
Why?
Because when they are home, they are likely to become bored… and when they become bored… they can be left alone with their own thoughts…
those thoughts will force them to come to grips with all the problems and troubles in their life… all the issues they have to deal with.
They don’t want to deal with them… they don’t want to remember the problems are there. So they try and run…
They try and ignore it…
and are always looking for something to do, desperate to avoid themselves.
