Such As It Was (Tick Tock Treasury Album Version)

And what of all of these moments?

Years have made us all opponents

Works we set out to create

Are gone or have deteriorated

From what was young and lighthearted

I've become as one departed

To you I have changed, you say

But every hope I've had's been misplaced

Such as it was

We take our dreams as they come

And we sing such as it was

We see our dreams come undone

Into memories, into memories

You lowly wear your soft armor

Hurled at you by keen archers

Bring to pass what you confess

Instead of suffering with much less

A hope for growth has been so stunted

Much like ones deterred and hunted

From the four corners of your life

Comes the shudderings of lost time

Such as it was

We take our dreams as they come

And we sing such as it was

We see our dreams come undone

Into memories, into memories

In closing all our dim holdings

Hurtened by our vast unknowings

Soon we'll come to each regret

Numbered with our lack of prospects
