Eternity is pressed against my eyelids
By brittle fists that I cannot avoid
And though each finger's grip has been relentless
The moments, they just keep on slipping by
And I am now aware that I
Haven't always had been at this moment
I've been sitting by the fire and blue, waiting for you
And though I've been expecting,
I have never quite accepted
That the fire will suddenly go out
The hands will fall away
The paint will peel
The trees will sadly sway
'Cause I'm scared that there's no answer
'cause I'm scared theres no dreamers
And in this life of mine, there is only time,
The illusion of which is gone
All my words are spread across the canvas
No one's seemed to see the things I say
And those these eyes were once those of an artist,
Failure has relieved me of a face
And I am now aware that I am only the brush strokes
On the headstone of a man that never lived
And this, oh this, is his life, that I have failed him
And I hoped to be forgiven
The fire will suddenly go out
The hands will fall away
The paint will peel
The trees will sadly sway
'Cause I'm scared that there's no answer
'Cause I'm scared theres no dreamers
And in this life of mine, there is only time,
The illusion of which is gone
So what is left waiting to be a man
I hanged myself to be
And just sadly sit with your eyes focused
(Can't make out this line)
We got a lot to say
Oh, we got a lot to do
The boys are in the street
They just want to do what they want
And we don't care
Oh, no, we don't care anymore
(Fade to end)
