lyrics

what does it mean when you dream
of gun battles between enemies you've never seen before
like some kind of video game
where the last level
always ends in a stalemate
and even though you had enough ammunition
to finish your mission
you gave your gun to the one you trusted
to reload alone while you stood guard
for the good of a cause...

a cause you're not even sure exists anymore
but that you still fight valiantly for
one you would even die for?

like the age old curse of a father's gun
that subtle feeling that you are on the cusp
of something so dark, even though the presents so bright
in your narrow scope of one single night
you romanticize the blight of a knight's honored battle
even though you've been told to be weary of the saddle
you've draped over the shoulders
of a scapegoat you now exercise control over

and knowing that all results are long term
even if your attention is quickly burnt
too quick, even, for you to realize what's consumed
by the actions taken in haste
you ignore warnings

until an ugly, flickering disgrace
reminds your blinded mind of your quest for the sky
and dream as you may, but it may be too late
as the sun sets dusk and forgets all of us
dream as you may, but it may be too late
