lyrics

A short introduction, a moment passed.
With smiling for reasons, we did not make last.
Seemed so unrealistic for us to reach out and grasp.
And so far away…

In complete isolation, let’s leave it all here.
With no premonitions, of what may seem clear.
We tend to live out fantasies and never see through,
to those we really needed to know.

Hello projection,
Please shift my focus from
The prototypes,
All assumed we’d welcome.

This thing that you hand me, so small in size.
Amounts to such profit, you’d never realize…
The changes that you’ve brought in me
And how those efforts futile seeming brought me from inside.
Through doors that weren’t open, and minds all sewn shut.
Fully pushing forward through sentiments with static plots.
We all just live out fantasies and never realize the ones we really needed to love.

Hello projection,
Please shift my focus from
The prototypes,
All assumed we’d welcome.

Now you’ve gone, saved me from this…
Life long, dream-state unknowingness

And once scared where we’re going next,
where do we go from here?
Afraid of what you’ve know before
with all those “wasted years.”
We’ll disconnect those doubts in mind, demonizing truth
From somewhere behind, calling to me and you.

You and I have grown so fast.
Fused together now, inseparable at last.
I’ve strangely forgotten, those fears now left behind
Goodbye, please trust in us and time.

Hello projection,
Please shift my focus from
The prototypes,
All assumed we’d welcome.

Hello reflection,
Please shift my focus from
The prototypes,
All assumed we’d welcome.
