After Everything
Now that it's over I find myself leaving
Sound permeating all directions at once
I never said goodbye to the family, lovers
Brothers and daughters, rest of the bunch
It seems so strange, things I was chasing
All evaporated like a distant dream
Petty ambitions, petty obstruction
And something in between
I really thought it would go on forever
Never believed they would sever the ties
All of the questions remaining unanswered
Stranger's reflection in a stranger's eyes
Here is a child playing in a garden
Here is an old man with broken heart
And here comes a train to take you away
It all goes 'round and 'round and comes back to the start
I was never really sure what I was waiting for
When the moment came I was looking away
Scared of the past, obsessed with the future
Never took the time to be here today
I really thought it would go on forever
Never believed they would sever the ties
All of the questions remaining unanswered
Stranger's reflection in stranger's eyes
After everything now this happens
It's not a grand illusion, it's a stupid little trick
The show must go on, these people have paid
You're standing in the wings feeling kinda sick
I was never really sure what you waited for
But when the moment came you just couldn't choose
The fog sweeps down over the marine city
Standing backstage trying to put on your shoes
I really thought it would go on forever
Never believed they would sever the ties
All of the questions remaining unanswered
Stranger's reflection in stranger's eyes
