Lyrics
Darkness slips away and I pretend,
All that lies before me is a means to an end,
I tried to reach you,
I tried to let you know,
But the words come out to slowly,
I refuse to let you go,
And I tried to find a reason,
But the reasons are unclear to me,
Elude me all the while,
And I fly on the wings,
Of a freedom that is new to me,
And higher I will climb,
Oh I drift away,
And find myself alone again in time,
And trapped in disbelief,
The walls are closing in,
No matter how I try I know,
That I will never win,
Oh, I'll never win,
No matter how I try I know,
That I will never win,
Oh, I'll never win,
Time is slipping fast away from me,
Another day is gone before I had a chance to see,
I tried to reach you,
I tried to let you konw,
That this life goes by so quickly,
You can't sit and watch it go,
Patience is a virtue I can't find,
I turn ahead to read the final chapter all the time.
