Why does it feel like There's always something amiss Life plays tricks how did Everything end up like this Why am I here if I don't belong Tell me, what is this Joy that you have Why can't I know The same happiness others do But I'll keep trying To feel what you feel Tell me, what's this beauty you see I want to find out Will everything fall into place Time, will you tell There's battle raging inside Though hidden from view Must this burden be shared Or should I hide what's true Misery, you're no stranger to me So you strive to shape me, break me Make me, ruin me This damnation has me shaken Hope and pa**ion, all forsaken Self-a**urance is eroding My endurance, quickly fading Away... Trying to regain perspective now I can't fall into desperation I have to wait, be patient They must know that it's not transient Sufficient time 'til separation The flame goes out and memory is lost Time is always on my side Streets after streets, I have walked on Deep in silent contemplation The hours melt together All these days are like each other But wait, not long 'til liberation The flame goes out and memory is lost But time is always on my side Running through the forest to k** time There's no wrong or right direction Only fog and misty vision There's no need for bold ambition Having no feeling nor affection The flame goes out and memory is lost But time is always on my side Then it came to me and I thought Life could be a charm Love seemed so sweet and mesmerizing Didn't believe it could harm I'll take a chance with escapism And time is always on my side Emptied soul and still fatalistic Would life still enchant I took my chance with escapism And time is always on my side Existing, not living Then who cares if I am Cavalier All the signs so telling They are only pointing To what's near Now I am on the Brink of liberation Looking out the window Now the leaves have fallen What's my fate Feel like I'm in limbo Would this be my callin' No escape Now I am on the Brink of liberation Falling down in pieces No way out It's the end, I'm leaving Without doubt Left them all my prized possessions Bid them farewell, sealed confessions Heart congesting, non-withstanding But in the darkness a ray of hope Shining through Tell me, what's this beauty I see Did I do it right, does life agree That maybe I could give and That's a reason good enough to live Time's secrets so tightly held But now you finally tell That life's mysteries Could lead to victories A stranger's love could save One who's been made a slave And overcome life's trials With hope
