lyrics

Years of evolution cut down in it's path
Washed away by the acid rain or a psychopath
Cellular intrusion, mind is absentee
We shut off when we switch on to technology
We search for absolution but we're too blind to see
A selfish man doesn't understand generosity
You can have your freedom, as much as you're allowed
This Golden Age of Nothing is upon us now

Face the day with uncertainty
The curtain drawn, the picture fades to black
It won't be coming back

Seen it all, we're desensitized
Homogenize the newscast, redirect
With lessening effect

Would we walk the razor's edge to fuel our vanity?
Give up our sanity?
To sit upon that Golden chair
Collect our things, ignore reality
For some it's meant to be

Tread against the sea and you will be in this Golden Age of Nothing
Feel the weight of the stone, you're all alone in this Golden Age of Nothing
Immortality, a fantasy in this Golden Age of Nothing
In Between the Waves, we are slaves to this Golden Age

Tangled in this masquerade, have we forgotten who we are and what we might have been?
To live the ultimate charade, someone tell me, someone tell me why
We decide to live the lie

Tread against the sea and you will be in this Golden Age of Nothing
Feel the weight of the stone, you're all alone in this Golden Age of Nothing
Immortality, a fantasy in this Golden Age of Nothing
In Between the Waves, we are slaves to this Golden Age

Ashes, ashes, all fall down

Years of evolution cut down in it's path
Washed away by the acid rain or a psychopath
Cellular intrusion, mind is absentee
We shut off when we switch on to technology
We search for absolution but we're too blind to see
A selfish man doesn't understand generosity
You can have your freedom, as much as you're allowed
This Golden Age of Nothing is upon us now

I raise my eyes to the sky
Searching for a guide
Looking for one to give me peace

I raise my hands in surrender
I can't take anymore
I cannot take this pain and suffering

I didn't know what to say
I didn't know what to do
You look at me, I look at you. We say nothing

Feeling a waterfall
Tired of it all
You look at me, I look at you.

You've acquired a lifetime of regret
You haven't even started living yet
You may find there's barely enough time
To turn around and run
