Gregory - Close to Failing Lyrics



Gregory - Close to Failing Lyrics




ἀποκρύπτειν

Everything we did, we did it for love
If that's true, where does that leave us?
Everything we know was dispensed from above
If that's true, what does that teach us?

Everywhere we look, we see another side
To many promises teasing our senses
Read another book and you'll feel it inside
Too many fallacies. We'll take our chances

Everything we did to make this world our home
Led to chaos, too many pay-offs
Everything we've learned shows that we are not alone
If that's true, who is going to save us?

Nothing in our lives has prepared us for this
We are so close to failing
Nothing quite so kind as a burning Judas kiss
We are content in trailing far behind

Every golden idol fallen
Faith to be re-learned
Every contradiction stolen
Science in the urn
Burn the things we dare not try to understand
And they will be faithful

Running out of time we dive and forage
In the dark abyss
We are searching for anything to light the way
All we find is burning embers, ash, and decay

Every time we cried to the heavens - to the past
Weary silence - nothing to inspire us
Everywhere we look we see infinity
The only limits are the ones we place on ourselves

Every time we tried to touch the other side
Nothing there. Only condemnation
Every time we strive toward immortality
We are unworthy
We are unclean

In the furthest corners of creation they hover
We are but an imitation
When there is nothing but God for us to discover
Knowledge accumulation is at its end
Ignorance is not bliss

Every golden idol fallen
Faith to be re-learned
Every contradiction stolen
Science in the urn
Burn the things we dare not try to understand
And they will be faithful
