Continuance - Over The Years lyrics

What with virtue i had set out to destroy My own wanting hands let it live Now with the onset of its will against me I will not back down but i cannot let go So i confine this beast to the darkness Confused. Contorted beyond any recognition With two faces its master both loves and disdains I've seen this picture in my mind Its growing clearer with every day spent in neglect It tells of the lonely road i've walked With so many days behind me wasted I have been lost i have been far off Far from the man i used to be far from the face i used to know With each frame growing closer to the end that has plagued my mind i've always feared But never thought that i would become And as i've tried over the years to find anyway to make my heart right One thing has been clear for me to see I dont have the fight inside the resolve or the conviction When all my days are spent what will matter in the end Regret will build my name if i dont change my ways
