lyrics

[VERSE1]
There are times I think I find
A way out of the prison of my mind
Like I could leave it all behind
For another day

Even then I recognize
It isn't easy, I reckon, to disguise
Where my intentions truly lie
Still but who's to say

[CHORUS]
And now time flies
And I'm lying awake
Living down my myriad mistakes

Confined
By this thing I can't shake
Adding up the damage I might take
Passing the days

[VERSE2]
These days we sit and sigh
And contemplate the dreams that pass us by
Too tired now to try
To salvage any one

This tide will ebb in time
Withdrawing slowly from each long-forgotten crime (lie?)
And we emerge again to blink
At an uncaring sun

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
And the time goes by
And we're finding another way
And we've heard it a thousand times
But we're trying it anyway
Are we fighting to save our souls
Or are we throwing it all away?
Lost in our heads
Passing the days

[VERSE3]
These days so long and still
Free of burdens and no purpose to fulfil
But it's not only time we kill
As they pass us by

Nothing of this world will last
And it's true that in time this too will pass
And I will fade into the past
Nothing left to say
