From A Distance Lyrics - Singles - Ashengrace

from a distance I see this cynical world has come to be 

everything that it promised it never would become 

from a distance I see the curtains draw to a close 

on the dreamers and poets and all that you love 

goes down with the setting sun 

their words are written in stone, their faces adorned with gold 

I've been to their sages and the wisdom of ages 

but I've never been this cold 

with cheshire cat smiles they shattered this trust 

I used to have gold but it soon became dust 

I don't believe in god, I don't believe in love, 

but I've always believed in you 

from a distance I feel the fabrics open in down in your eyes 

holding close, holding fast, but always holding me down 

in an instant I try to open these wings unlearning to fly 

face up to the rain asleep in the stale underground 

their words are written in stone, their faces adorned with gold 

I've been to their sages and the wisdom of ages 

but I've never been this cold 

with all that you love, and all that you need 

no matter how long you try to believe 

in the dreams that won't come and the words 

that won't go either way, in the end you know 

one foot on the staircase, one foot on the plains 

either way i'll be waiting for you in the sun and the rain 

I've never been this high, I've never slipped this low 

the things that I dream, the dreams that I love 

are the only things left that you'll never know 

you'll never know
