lyrics

And in the span of time
You walk upon the earth
Others will succeed while you observe

With angry jealousy
You’re questioning your worth
Why should they obtain what you deserve?

Indifference
And cold bitterness
Has clouded the ambitions
That you repress

In between suffering
And the ways that you find comforting
Hides a truth never told
Of desires you let go

And as the years roll by
A pattern will emerge
Every day is like the one before

With quiet dignity
You’re holding back an urge
To pursue the passions you’ve ignored

Conformity
Brings you certainty
While living with decisions
Remorsefully

In between suffering
And the ways that you find comforting
Hides a truth never told
Of desires you let go
Giving up is effortless
When trying becomes perilous
In a blink of your eye
Wasted years are justified

It’s hard to stand on high
When guarantees are seldom given
Cast the fear aside
You’re conquering your inhibitions
Like a million eyes
All waiting for your next decision
Your moment has arrived
A course collision

And can you feel it?

In between suffering
And the ways that you find comforting
Hides a truth never told
Of desires you let go
Giving up will cause regret
But time has not escaped you yet
In a blink of your eye
Visions can be realized

Epilogue
So long, now we’ll see you
At a different time
And if you found this meaningless
You’ve failed to see the signs

But when you recognize
All you’re hiding
You have agonized
For all you’ve been through
When you realize
All you’re finding
Is there, within you
