Lekker Kraken

歌詞

Paper autographs of the distant past Signed in memory at the factory Where they pump out time in assembly lines Frozen poses smile from cryptic paper piles Whole lives are spent on further moving away from the laughter and reminders From skin much softer and from innocent minds now much older and hearts harder Camera your eye is always on me, I'm never what I should be Camera I stumble and you stand there taking notes on glossy paper Thoughts of loved ones lost on the way have forgetten sorrow delayed Once a martyr idealistic Now those ideals bow to business No need to ? just with sacrifice But the dim glow's now a floodlight Your every frame jumps up and cuts in my skin Disappointment makes the wounds sting Camera your faceless stare seems to follow everywhere Camera I confided; you exploited all my moments Slow and subtle changes never seem to be so dangerous Even leaps and bounds seem harmless as you're drifting further from me But then sentiment and hindsight seem to catch the conscience in flight Using memories to draw him back into the worldly party Camera I wish my darkened failure . . . Camera you caught me in the act of growing older
