Dream Theater › Lyrics › Innocence Faded

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
