lyrics

When we left
I was not yet a child
Never knowing truths learned from the wild

What was now gone
Was a world of fear
Literal destruction drew near

And they left it all behind
And they knew it in their minds
That something was far better where they've gone

But they went alone
They went alone
And nothing could ever fix their being alone


Borders crossed
Roll out the welcome mat
Screen you for diseases and gnats

Aren't you glad
You've come to free land
Now earn your keep and go meet our demands

And they took it all in stride
And they knew it in their minds
That something was far better where they've come

But they came alone
They came alone
And nothing could ever fix their being alone

All that I've had
Was a world built for me
Crafted with the love and tears of fantasy

And now that I'm older
I'm off to build anew
And their work falters like the sands that they outgrew

But they take it in with pride
Cuz they knew it in their minds
That everything is better where they've come

But they are alone
They are alone
And nothing could ever fix their being alone


Age is a demon
It comes for us all
Through hellscape, urban town, and mountainfall

They dared to look back
They saw a ruined space
Nothing stopped to save their family place

But they swallow it in time
Cuz they knew it in their minds
That they did something better where they've come

But they'll die alone
They'll die alone
And nothing could ever save their dying alone
(And nothing could ever save them, they're dying alone)
