We are thoughts in time
Fading from its memory
Can you see all you've wasted?
Counting down the days
Forgot to live these moments
Leading you astray
Just like writing history
In the sand
I've tried to piece the mystery
These dots just don't align
Are we shades in the Afterglow?

Is this all part of what
You already envisioned?
Leading you astray
Just like writing history
In the sand
Are we all shades
In the Afterglow?
(In the Afterglow?)

But I can't let it get to me
As this world grows
Colder and colder
This is part
Of the time eternal
That waits for no one
There's more to life than entropy
We'll hold on to memories
Fading from our mind
Are we all shades
In the Afterglow?
(In the Afterglow?)
This is part
Of the time eternal
That waits for no one
