Upon the rooftops of tonight
And watch as life transcends itself
Below us
And we wonder
With curious hands
How it all began
But we make no point
To try and understand
The beauty of tonight
And how it stands
Upon the mortal ground
That we trudge along
So very long
And never really understand
What the reason for our being
Was at all
But being that which being is about
Is truely only something we can live without
For trying to define
That which we know naught
Will only get you deeper
Into the abyss
Of eternal night
That hereafter singes
Our spirit
That we think we possess
Because we believed in something
When we were seven
And now there's nothing left
To believe in
Accept that which we see
From way up here
On this rooftop
Because it's all we have left
And all we will ever know
Because it's all we have left to show
For our life
Upon this land
That we never really set foot on
Because we were too afraid
We would trip and fall
And never make it back up
Again
