Visions
Godhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Need a reason to be wrong
I need a reason to believe
Compassion for the choices made has dithered
It's time to let the senseless pass
Time to prick this psychopath
End this hang-man game of resolution

You said that it was just for now
The wait is far too long
Why can't we bring things back
Just like they were before

As days go by, I wonder
Which thoughts collide about me
It's time to face the consequence
Time to see this through
Terminate the silence that you're bound to

You said that it was just for now
The wait is far too long
Why can't we bring things back
Just like they were before





Visions of our past
