Afterglow - Ephemeral Lyrics

We can see but we are blinded
We can hear but our ears are deaf
I can barely get to taste the salt in my tears
The salt in my tears
For fear has settled in
Spreading agony
The ability to feel has vanished and decayed

Loosely tied so we could be undone
That's how we keep our ephemeral bonds
We're so afraid to open up
How long can we afford to keep intact our sanity
If there's no empathy behind, our destiny to fail

Betrayers of our own nature
Murderers of our own kind
The truth that makes men free is, for the most part
The truth which men prefer not to hear

We can speak but we are voiceless
We can move but we keep motionless
I can barely get to think with any reason
With any reason

For fear has settled in
Settled in
Spreading agony
The ability to feel has vanished and decayed

Loosely tied so we could be undone
That's how we keep our ephemeral bonds
We're so afraid to open up
How long can we afford to keep intact our sanity
If there's no empathy behind, our destiny to fail
