Echoes of Life

Everything's gone out of control
Silently sliding away
Destiny's end is calling again
The future was yesterday
Visions of light fade in my eyes
Energy falls from my hands
Faint in the night
Echoes of life drown in the day's demands
How did I get so stranded?
Here I am, built a house on the sand
And I know I've been slipping away too fast
Slipping away
I caught a glimmer of what could be
Another future, a possibility
But just a blink and it was gone
and I was staring back at me
Forever dreaming of what to do
Never achieving I never see it through
Don't want to live like yesterday
This time my dreams are coming true
[CHORUS] The clouds are rolling by, there's purpose in the sky
I'm rooted to the ground procrastinating
The sun's about to set and nothing's happened yet
Don't want to close my eyes - I'm tired of waiting
Lost in the safety of modern times
Nobody tells you to read between the lines
So you could stumble in the dark
or you could open up your eyes
[CHORUS]
I'm tired of waiting
I caught a glimmer of what could be
Another future, a new reality
I'm going to chase it through the night
I'm going to bring it back to me
[CHORUS]
I'm tired of waiting
Here I am, built a house on the sand
And I know I've been slipping away too fast
Slipping away
Visions of light fade in my eyes
Energy falls from my hands
Faint in the night
Echoes of life drown in the day's demands
How can I stop them from slipping away?
