No matter what your voice remains
So tell me what there is to gain
No matter how I seem to try
You never want to die
I failed to rid you of my past
(But you were always me)
I failed to reach the end at last
(And I was always you)

And was I ever in control?
Did I exist as me at all?
An empty surrogate
Was I alive by chance
Or merely circumstance?

Over time this certainty had faded into obscurity
Thoughts I once internalized are torn out of my body and mind
One by one, memories falling apart at the seams of their origin

Things are slowly starting to make sense
As my life is falling into place
Puzzle pieces are finally fitting
Into an image resembling something
That I wanted to become

Now arriving to conclusions
I once had thought were delusions

And was I ever in control?
Did I exist as me at all?
An empty surrogate
Was I alive by chance
Or merely circumstance?
Devoid of any choice
I've yet to use my voice

A motionless, eternal dream
An ever present melody
Reveals the sound of hope to me

As I tried to disappear your true voice was drawing near
And my path's becoming clear

It's time you owned what wasn't mine
I stand before my own demise
And face it strong with open eyes

As I tried to disappear your true voice was drawing near
And my path's becoming clear

And out of the fog emerges a familiar form
But something has changed, as if it was somehow rearranged
Is this what it meant for you to truly be made anew?
I now see that it was inevitable
You couldn't be real, you couldn't know what it was to feel
And I should've known, but this life can finally be your own
I'm sorry I took this long, I now know that I was wrong
But I'm glad to see you return

I know you hoped you'd reached the end
Although you've changed, you're still my friend

Time has stopped for you
And brought you back to me
Life begins anew
And you can now be free
