Episode Synopsis

Once was standing
Now he’s done
Staring at the far horizon

Once was gleaming
Now he’s rust
Time has scarred him to a thin crust
Soon to dust

You’re not important
You are just like everybody
You’re petrified just like the rest of us

You are a man
With rusted eyes that keep on searching
As waves are breaking through your outer layer
Until the tide recedes and you’re not there

Once he saw a setting sun
Shining beams on water dancing
Just for him

You’re not important
You are just like everybody
You’re petrified just like the rest of us

You are a man
With rusted eyes that keep on searching
As waves are breaking through your outer layer
One day the tide recedes and you’re not there

You are a man
With rusted eyes that keep on searching
But there’s nothing in the mind of a man
Made of iron

You are a man
With rusted eyes that keep on searching
But there’s nothing in the mind of a man
Made of iron

The beach forgets
With every single tide

The beach forgets
Every single
Every single time
Still he stares

Once was standing
Now he’s done
