Story Behind The Song
This song was written during a time of self realization and coming to terms with all the mistakes I've made in life. I hope it means something to you when you are going through the same things. To me this song represents "New life" and a second chance. And everyone deserves a second chance.~Steve Wilson, Lead Vocals

Lyrics
Sometimes it's perfect,
but you don't even know.
Sometimes it's wonderful,
but you still wind up letting it go.
Sometimes you're blinded,
by the truth staring back at you,
Sometimes it's hard to accept,
all that you know that is true.
Then the pain collides,
and the Dying inside,
Pries open your eyes to a face you don't recognize.
And in that moment of Zen,
you add up all that you've been,
And the drop in the bucket starts to run out again.
You can't go back.
You can't go back.
But you can't stop looking back.
Oh no, You can't stop looking back.
So you reach your epiphany.
In your moment of clarity,
all you thought were the victories,
don't leave much of a legacy.
And you lay waiting patiently,
for a sign of finality.
And you learn from the memories,
Oh God it's such a beautiful tragedy.
Then the pain collides,
and the dying inside,
pries open your eyes to a face you don't recognize.
And in your moment of Zen
You add up all that you've been.
And the drop in the bucket starts to run out again.
You can't go back,
You can't go, no you can't go back.
But you can't stop looking back,
Oh no, you can't stop looking back.
You can't go back.
You can't go, back.
But you can't stop looking back
You can't stop looking back.
