If we start at the beginning we'll only get lost We told ourselves so many stories And failed to calculate the cost These lies belong to us, we raised them from the earth Hidden by a masterful performance That no one could observe Yeah! We had to survive on the scraps left to us It wasn't ours to decide, what life meant to us So let's start at the end, sober from the fountain of youth The wounds may never mend, but still, I wanna drink the truth We had to survive on the scraps left to us It wasn't ours to decide, what life meant to us All the stained glass losing its color Praetorian aureole Two people stare through a crystal barrier Yeah! Agnus dei, wasting away A self delusion in decay We had to survive on the scraps left to us It wasn't ours to decide, what life meant to us All the stained glass losing its color Praetorian aureole Two people stare through a crystal barrier Yeah!
