lyrics

It's quieter now
Said all there is to say, and there's no one here to hear it
It's slowing down
No longer trying to squeeze extra hours from a day

The empty lifeless space
between the couch and the TV
was once a vast sunlit plain, as far as a child's eyes could see
And daddy horse and daughter
would ride for hours

It's cleaner now
Everything is in its place, but no one's here to notice
It's so orderly
The chaos is gone, and it makes me want to mess it up
The pillows were once mountains, where a son's Lego armies lay in wait
The father's armies always failed
And he'd tickle the victor

It's too late to turn back
It's too soon to go forward
It's too near to get away
It's too far to stay

The future used to feel so wide open
Its keeps me feeling I can start again
But memory's no substitute for energy
And my energy is feeling pretty thin

Here I stand, before the altar of the god of loneliness and freedom
Just a man, who couldn't pay attention to his kin, or keep his mind on anything

Hear me lord
Accept this sacrifice of my wasted time
It please you lord
Let me feel the way I did before I failed

It's too late to turn back
I need to start moving
It's too near to stay
And too far to fly away

Hear me mistress
Accept this sacrifice of my forgotten love
It please you lord
Let me remember flesh as it felt when it was new
