Evolution

by Aldaraia

on Cloud Atlas (2009)

As sanity began to shape and perception began to dawn
Man began to question himself in his hell
When colors began to show themselves in our eyes
To cast doubt (became a truth)

Now this grudge is just like a stone
An effigy in statue
A shade that's just beyond his eyes and I can barely see through

I've been living in darkness too long
To see the shades in which you dance
And I hope you find there's nothing left of you but me

And you're committed to something you'll never find
You have no eyes but for what you already see

So dance on, through my moods
I'm waiting in the dark again
The sun is nothing to me, the moon has nothing left to give
And I can barely see you

You've been living on your own too long
To see the truths of which I speak
And you've been living on your own two legs
I will put you on your knees

And you're committed to something you'll never find
You have no eyes but for what you already see

I've been living in the dark too long
To see the shades in which you dance

I've been living on my own too long
To see the truths of which you speak
And you're, god dammit, so committed to something gone
You have no eyes, but for what you already fucking see...
