A perfect picture of the perfect past
When you see our future you'll only look back
It makes me wonder why we still last
And so we'll live like there are no shadows cast
For now
A cry of war and a cry of pain
As we sit helpless as the average are slain
It's normal living to the eye that's untrained
And so we'll play it until normality is gained
For now
For now
Oh, a voice was singing
I heard a scream and a shout
I heard the voices singing out
Chronic malfunction of the human heart
We'll see daunting pictures, but will we be alarmed?
Watching fellow beings be ripped apart
Now graphic torture seems to be an art
For now
And so we'll shape again to break away
Remembering every word we'll ever say
All these memories I've still to erase
I guess I'll wait for yesterday
But how?
A perfect picture of the perfect past
When you see our future you'll only look back
It makes me wonder why we still last
And so we'll live like there are no shadows cast
For now
But how?
