Lyrics
Took me by surprise, I never realized
Never thought I'd see the day
Going over ways I could've made it right
I'm lookin' for the words to say
Saw my life hang on the edge
I let it get into my head
Remembering those words you said
You're not alive until you're dead
I'm so confused
Voices of the insane crowd my brain
Why can't I cry?
When faith is gone
There's nothing left but pain
Never would have known the fate that I would own
If you didn't read my mind
I have yet to see my true destiny
For now I think I'll buy some time
A fantasy of wasted dreams
A dream of how it used to be
It cannot get the best of me
My world is tearing at the seams
I'm so confused
Faces of the insane crowd my brain
Why can't I cry?
When faith is gone
There's nothing left but pain
Ooo
The road ahead is drawing near
But what I see is very clear
I have to rise and face my fear
Tune out the voices That I hear
I'm so confused
Voices of the insane crowd my brain
Why can't I cry?
When faith is gone
There's nothing left but pain
Ooo
