Blame the Ending - Future That Never Came Lyrics

Lost sight of your path
But knew where it was going
That tiny, dim room
Outside still snowing
Synchronized sight and sound
Trees collapsing
Yellow pages torn to shreds
Academic seasons passing
Heard rumors you returned
You were never here
Too intelligent to understand
Headlights on a deer
In the future
That never came
In the future
That never came
There were no limits
No amount ever enough
Your battered body slouching
Into the harder stuff
Nervous energy bottled
Spilling into dreams
Eyes fixed on floorboards
Bursting at the seams
Heard rumors you got lost
A block from your home
Too intelligent to understand
You can't forever roam
In the future
That never came
In the future
That never came
Didn't know the history
Don't know where it all went wrong
We only saw the surface
And heard fragments of your song
When I got the news
It wasn't a surprise
The clock always racing
You never had much time
Hope your name still comes up
By those who knew you best
Maybe you inadvertently
Taught some lessons to the rest
There won't be any statues
No candles by a wall
Just some fading memories
An echo of last call
Some lifestyles demand payback
Sometimes the present will suffice
Deep in the halls of oblivion
Amongst the shattered lights
Of the future
That never came
Of the future
That never came
Of the future
That never came
