An ounce of lost sanity

[O.P.A.L]

We spin in rust
Sing for its destruction
Dance in admiration
Wait for it to pass
But we still want that high
To feel its arms
The peace it promises
The pain it brings
We have seen its nature
We let it play us
And then we call its name
Just one more time
But each and every turn
Seems to take just an ounce
That bit we lost took its name
We spin in rust
In hopes to forget
In hopes to remember
That sanity that slipped

For our O.P.A.L.
We have tried, but it seems as if we're all falling
We hope to regain
We hope you regain
Just one ounce
To remember the quite gears
