It Leads to This

What you see is no surprise

But it's not the half of it

Always there by your side

In the cold black center of your eyes

You made your mark, a life of toil

But that's irrelevant now

All the traces worn away

By the long march of your decay

So it leads to this

How could we get it so wrong?

For all this time, for all this progress

For all this time, for all this progress

For all this time, for all this progress

What you see is no surprise

But it's not the end of it

The future, what is left

Is right here standing by your side

So it leads to this

How could we get it so wrong?

For all this time, our so-called progress

So it leads to this

Oh, how you waited this long

For all this time, you were here with me

For all this time, you were here with me

For all this time, for all this progress

For all this time, I didn't notice you
