"Life After Life" lyrics

"Life After Life"

No one lives forever, no one dies for long
In this hallucination, upside down is the right side of wrong
This space-less space, timeless time, amnesia of human-kind
But there is a voice whispering in your soul
All you have forgotten determined to be known

All the things you should have said but didn't say
Life after life
All the things you could have done but didn't do
Life after life
Remembering
Life after life
Where you were before you were you

Listening to the growing of the grass
Watching time-lapsed clouds pass
The strange becomes familiar, the familiar strange
Some things best experienced, not explained
Everything is not what it seems
Sensing outlines of forms unseen
Those sirens on that distant shore
Tempting you back for more
But what really brought you to Earth?
But what really guided you from birth?

You know you're dreaming but you can't wake up
Trapped on the inside but out of touch
The inner, the outer, the believer, the doubter
But the biggest clue with what is true?
Your thoughts are thinking – you!

All the things you should have said but didn't say
Life after life
All the things you could have done but didn't do
Life after life
Remembering
Life after life
Where you were before you were you

All the things you should have said but didn't say
Life after life
All the things you could have done but didn't do
Life after life
Remembering
Life after life
Where you were before you were you
