Forgotten Generation

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] Midnight weighs down, pressing like a thief’s breath— We steal hours, counting coins of fading light. Hearts flicker in quiet embers, smoke on our lips, While the indifferent world turns, grinding stars to sand. [Chorus] We were the broken compass, spinning out of line— (Oh, how the skies never led us true.) We were the broken compass, fractured by design— (Time plays its dirge, worn but cruel.) We were the broken compass… (And every course fell through.) [Verse 2] Loss wears its mark—etching paths through every door. Our lives replay, an echo we no longer speak. We trace our wounds in the dust, rehearsing the fall, While the clock hums the tune of almosts and could-have-beens. [Chorus] We were the fading horizon, half-lost in the blur— (Oh, how the tide erased our names.) We were the fading horizon, a story left slurred— (All we built now swallowed in flames.) We were the fading horizon… (And the sea forgot our claims.) [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Love seeps away, silent as an unsung moon. We hold the fragments, mistaking ache for bloom. Grasping at what was, we break without a sound— But will I linger when the stage finally clears? [Final Chorus] We were the broken compass… (And begin with finding our own way.) We were the fading horizon… (And never again see the light of day .) I was the unwritten elegy, your almost-always— (Oh, how the silence carves its refrain.) I was the unwritten elegy, a dissonant phrase— (You’ll trace my name into the rain.) I was the unwritten elegy… (And even storms grow tame.) We were the fading horizon, half-lost in the blur— (Oh, how the tide erased our names.) [Instrumental] [Fade Out] [Vocalizations] Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhh Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhj We were the broken compass… We were the fading horizon…. We were the unwritten elegy…. We were forgotten and broken …. We’re all still forgotten and broken…. [Instrumental] [Fade Out]
