Inheritor Lyrics

This city under anesthesia

Sprawled out cold with winter rain

Holds only echoes, ancient memories

Of songs that used to ease the pain

I've walked these silent streets at morning

And wondered just how long it's been

Since I last saw the world in motion

Or heard the laughter of a friend

A languid, hazy fog goes drifting

And winds its way on through the night

And with it flow the dreams of better days

When hope was high, the future bright

A solemn sight, a bleak reminder

Finds me everywhere I go

And what to make of fate, this feeling

I couldn't say, I just don't know

'Cause I'm finding more of me, though less of everything I had

And I still see the sun and feel the wind and find I'm glad

And I could throw away the only life I have to live

But I can't shake the thought that there is more to give and to receive

So I breathe deep

A silver sun, a vacant freeway

Cracked and scarred beneath my feet

Extends ahead in endless welcome

To somewhere Earth and Heaven meet

Whatever might be out there waiting

Belongs to fantasy and faith

Until I step across that threshold

And leave behind a life erased

'Cause I'm finding more of me, though less of everything I had

And I still see the sun and feel the wind and find I'm glad

And I could throw away the only life I have to live

But I can't shake the thought that there is more to give and to receive

So I breathe deep
