After the fact

Things are slow and not as well as they used to be
I think I can trust myself
We're supposed to conquer the earth
Before the earth takes us...

That's what we're in for
The risk of comfort never ends
We'll take the stars, the moon and the sun
We'll take what we need from the sky

Euphony is what I seek
It could heal us both
Since we have transformed ourselves
To the catacombs of morale

It's what we're in for
The fear of death seems to fade
We'll take the stars, the moon and the sun
We'll take what we need from the sky

Things are slow and not as well as they used to be
I'll tell what I need, but I don't think you know just what I mean
It's after the fact and our lives are caving in
Or maybe it's just my own...

This is what I mean
I let my self-consciousness disappear
The stars, the moon, and the sun are gone
And the heavens will shimmer with delight
