Innocence Faded

- john petrucci



Animation

Breathes a cloudless mind

Fascination

Leaves the doubting blind

Until the circle breaks and wisdom lies ahead

The faithful live awake

The rest remain misled



Some will transcend spinning years

One as if time disappears



Innocence faded

The mirror falls behind you

Trinity jaded

I break down walls to find you



Callow and vain

Fixed like a fossil, shrouding pain

Passionless stage

Distant like brothers

Wearing apathetic displays

Sharing flesh like envy in cages

Condescending

Not intending to end



Some will transcend spinning years

One as if time disappears



Innocence faded

The mirror falls behind you

Trinity jaded

I break down walls to find you



Beginnings get complicated

The farther we progress

Opinions are calculated

Immune to openness



Beyond the circle's edge

We're driven by her blessings

Forever hesitating

Caught beneath the wheel



Innocence faded

The mirror falls behind you

Cynically jaded

The child will crawl to find you.
