One By One - Altura

Waiting for the voices of reason

I can’t see but to close the door

Open the new one

And walk towards the edge

Freedom in this one

So few’ll understand

Ashes of passion

Once moved us all

A view we all fashion

And follow the same

Lonely’s never far away

I remember its face

I vowed to restrain the gray

As I saw past their empty stare

One by one

We’ll follow and fade away

One by one

Burned by regret

Waiting for the voices of reason

And I don’t feel the need anymore

All I believed in was empty in promise

The shame found in these eyes

I’ve learned to wear

Lying awake and drowning in fear

It’s part of the role

That I’ve learned to live

One by one

We’ll follow and fade away

One by one

Burned by regret
