i've been

seen the empty faces

old man look stone cold

i've seen

the hope their must have been

our dreams have all been sold

i've tried

recounting memories

lies they were all told

did you believe in everything

in every word that they said

did you believe in every trick

in every word that you read

i've known

people blow it all

like they know we are here just for now

i've seen

faces cold from dreams

told to quieten 'em down

feeling tired

years of being wired

into thier private minds

in the end

we sit there with our freinds

feeling quietly let down

i sensed

the smell of decay in the way

brushed by angels wings

inner face

trace what used to be

gabriel gently sings

outta' sight

oh, what might have been

a billion long lost dreams
