Traces of Life

We’re addicted to our lives
We try so hard to hide
We sing our lullabies
While we slowly die inside

We drift from sea to sea
To see what we can see
But in the end our dreams
Are just foretelling of our genes

We drift and float right by
As you go through your lives
But you never realize
When one of us may die

So sing songs now from deep
Blend melodies so sweet
And still the secrets keep
Just beneath your feet
