How Could They? - The Code

How could they do this, how could they say

We’ve done the wrong thing

The whole time, they told us, we would be there today

The smiles, they face us, in all the wrong ways

I offered what I could, the smiles they adored

Time broke through to the end, and stroked the loudest chord

I’ve seen things, I’ve felt things, most others cannot feel

I’ve smelled the stale smell, the taste of what’s not real

I’ve gone through my whole life, expecting to be the best

Now I’m living in a dream, along with all the rest

How could they… How could they say?

How can they tell us that it’s not real

How can they judge the way we feel

How could they really mean that it’s not how it seems

How could they really mean that it’s just a dream
