After Everything

Now that it's over I found myself fleeting
 The sound permeated all directions at once
 I never said goodbye to the family, lovers
 Brothers and daughters, the rest of the bunch
 It seems so strange that the things I was chasing
 Have all evaporated like a distant dream
 Petty ambition, petty obstruction
 Something in between
 I really thought it would go on forever
 Never believed they would sever the ties
 All of the questions remaining unanswered
 A stranger's reflection in a stranger's eyes
 Here is a child playing in a garden
 Here is an old man with a broken heart
 Here comes a train to take you away
 It all goes round and round and comes back to the start
 I was never really sure what I was waiting for
 When the moment came I was looking away
 Obsessed with a past, scared of the future
 Never took the time to be here today
 After everything now this happens
 It's not a grand illusion, it's a stupid little trick
 The show must go on, these people have paid
 You're standing in the wings feeling kinda sick
 Never really sure what you were waiting for
 When the moment came you just couldn't choose
 The fog sweeps down over the marine city
 Standing backstage trying to pull on your shoes
