lyrics

AGE OF DISILLUSIONMENT
(© summer 2004)

Just thinking ‘bout, encountering you again
has been the wind that has carried me through all these days
I’m not living like I used to
For I am never where I am, I am never where I am

This is the age of disillusionment
as all things must come and go
But now it’s time for someone else to find the hope and the beauty
‘cause I’m tired of being the fire and the air to keep it burning

CHORUS:
The world is on trial in my mind
and I need time
to be, to see, and to breathe on this,
to wander, to wander, and to be
on this side

Everything that should be wonderful
is failing to penetrate my feelings
Just the strings of a guitar and that milky way of stars
can still bring me to the soul of the world
I want the soul of the world!

“Where ever you go there you are” I hear his words
and I know I cannot leave here until I arrive
And of course I’d rather be Socrates dissatisfied
for oh I know these questions are the composers of my life

CHORUS:
That’s why the world is on trial in my mind
and I just need time, to be, to see, and to breathe on this,
to know to hate to have to hold to love to be on this
to wander, to wander, and to be
on this side

Nothing’s looking like it used to…

Nothing’s feeling like it used to…

This is the age of…

This is the age of disillusionment
