Evergreen Terrace Lyrics

I wish this could last forever.
I desire for this moment to be everlasting.

Another face in a photograph.
Yet another individual captured in a picture.

I try so hard to remember.
I make a great effort to recall.

Although I know there's no going back.
Despite being aware that there's no returning to the past.

A broken rung in the ladder.
One step of the path shattered and destroyed.

Another faded photograph.
Another blurry or lost image of a moment in time.

While all these memories shatter.
As all these recollections splinter and break.

I watch it all fade to black.
I observe everything turn dark and vanish.

Godspeed, despite the notion.
A blessing of success, despite any doubts.

I'm done sleeping with my eyes wide open.
I've stopped staying alert while resting.

Wake me when it's over.
Please rouse me when it has come to an end.

The sooner, the better.
As soon as possible would be ideal.

Assimilate as you fall in line.
Blend in and conform as you join the group.

When you were you in another time.
When you were the person you used to be at a different moment.

A broken bone in the ladder.
The fracture of a rung in the path of life.

And as these memories shatter.
As these recollections continue to break apart.

I watch it all fade to black.
I witness everything turn dark and disappear.

Can't stop. Won't stop.
I cannot and will not cease.

Never looking back.
I do not dwell on what has been left behind.
