Fallstate - Epilogue Lyrics

Five o'clock, the siren sounds, he wakes to live another day
Feet to floor, he dons his cleanest suit, his bravest face
Peering out the window at blue skies with a jaded filter
A vacant smile to greet a passerby

And all he wants is to be normal
As out of grasp as that may seem
Buried under, encumbered by
A violent rogue daydream

Always holding out for a day a little less shit
While the choking steals his breath away
His future was a bright one
But now the halo becomes the noose

Twelve o'clock, his suit's intact
But now wraps around a statuette

Disillusioned by the realization that today is just another day
(Another day)
Smile starts to drop and fade, like a shadow in the evening sun
Lifeless replies of a stolen body in the wrong existence

And all he wants is to be normal
As out of grasp as that may seem
Buried under, encumbered by
A violent rogue daydream

All that's left is to be at rest
A hope in happy endings now a hope to dull the pain
Avoidable destruction, sincerity too late
No one saw, no one cared
Not a hello, now he's dead
His voice it speaks and screams
But no one's there listening
A desperate cry that always goes unnoticed

And all he wants is to be normal
As out of grasp as that may seem
Buried under, encumbered by
A violent rogue daydream
And all he wanted was to be normal
Now as far away as it's ever been
Buried under but not encumbered anymore

All that's left is to be at rest
A hope in happy endings now a hope to dull the pain
Avoidable destruction, sincerity too late
No one saw, no one cared
Not a hello, now he's dead
His voice it speaks and screams
But no one's there listening
It's all because no one asked him how his day was
