Purpose Lyrics by Among Them

Coming and Going

2018

As information passed the whole world
Came crashing down on our heads
We'll never be the same, no we're not ok
And yes, it still reminds me of you day by day
The place where your books went down
But no, they can't stay, we've got to move them now
Is it a metaphor for moving on
Or a sad realisation that you're really gone?

Feelings of alterity, eyes watching they're always looking at me
Hearts breaking, I'm breaking, my eyes are open
And I'm barely sleeping
Why was it that you couldn't find
A little piece of peace of mind

Oh my, why it's easy to see now
So simple it seems, yet unknown somehow

Floating still, his feet don't touch the ground
Frozen faced standing out in the crowd
Caught in the background
Holding tightly to your memory
You were so different but you were not free

No, don't try to stand up, their breaking the walls again
Look around and watch the world collapsing
Before it ends

Now we wonder what it is you'd seen in your mind, in good time

There's pain, there's disbelief
There's something eerie about this place, now that you've been

Keep open, you can never tell
If you think you're immune, then you're lying to yourself
He's alright (it's a lie)
He's alright (it's a lie)

This might be naïve of me
But don't use words like knives, because we're all the same
It's inside (it's inside)
It's all inside, it's in your mind

We'll see you one day my friend
But we all just wish it didn't have to be the end
It seems like yesterday that you stood
Where your books sit and you looked at me

Who am I to tell the ocean that its waves are getting colder
Of such a pure strain, yet he doesn't want to grow older
And who am I to question why my smile isn't reflected?
By a boy who was loved by us, but somehow felt neglected
