lyrics

No dreams, just routines, no discoveries and no surprises
You know these days it seems that the sun it barely rises
I inject this half-light creed seeking something to astound me
And when I cut I bleed, invisible to those around me

I soldier on under skies dark and leaden
Despair only lights my way to my own Armageddon
Twenty one summers passed, expected and not surprising
You crossed the meridian alone in search of new horizons

We were chasing down the sun before we parted ways
Now it’s just overcast these thankless days
We were ascendant, now the hope hangs like a pall
And it’s been overcast as long as I recall

Now I only see your face out of focus in a dream
It seems the only place I’m going is where I’ve already been
Black clouds drape their sense, a dim glow of dark foreboding
A flicker from the whence but not to where I’m going

We were chasing down the sun before we parted ways
Now it’s just overcast these thankless days
We were ascendant, now the hope hangs like a pall
And it’s been overcast as long as I recall

Overcast

I hasten pace at the sense of distant thunder
Magnetic pulse erased when we were torn asunder
The scythe and hourglass, with one stroke we were cleft
It was also overcast on the day that you left

We were chasing down the sun before we parted ways
Now it’s just overcast these thankless days
We were ascendant, now the hope hangs like a pall
And it’s been overcast as long as I recall

Overcast
