lyrics

PART ONE
As sudden as their arrival,
They vanished without a trace
No pyrotechnics or fanfare
Just one giant empty space

And everyone's asking questions
Like what was the goddamned point
Humanity's left without answers
Our spirits were knocked out of joint

Now I've been doing some thinking
And watching the world return
To some kind of state of normal
And there's something I have learned

While living in fear of the unknown
The world had a common threat
And people who'd fought one another
Were basically forced to forget

And nations had banded together
To map out a plan of attack
For now at least they will remember
They once had each other's back

And what of the visiting objects
Are they coming again some day
Let's hope it doesn't take that lesson
To remind us all how to behave


PART TWO
At the end of the day
Things stay the same
But nothing appears
Completely unchanged
But you didn't expect
Square holes perfectly round
And you didn't expect
Silence making a sound
And you didn't expect
Your whole world crashing down
To test your resolve

When the dust finally clears
There's nothing so dear
Than the life that you live
Without worry and fear
But you didn't expect
Darkness bright as a light
And you didn't expect
Daytime all through the night
And you didn't expect
Giving up all of your rights
To test your resolve

How long will this feeling go on?
Inescapable emptiness from dusk until dawn
Can you find any answers, do you know what went wrong?
What went wrong?

When it's all said and done
You're the fortunate one
Because you survived
This mystery ride
But you didn't expect
Closing your eyes to see
And you didn't expect
Paying for everything free
And you didn't expect
Giving your soul to me
To test your resolve
At the end of the day
Things stay the same
But nothing appears
Completely unchanged
