What amounts to a dream anymore?

A crude device;

A veil on our eyes

A simple plan we'd be different from the rest

And never resign to a typical life

Common fears start to multiply

We realize we're paralyzed

Where'd it go,

All that precious time?

Did we even try to stem the tide?

Why should we waste it on

Buying into the same old lies?

The longer we wait around

The faster the years go by

It's not too late

To feel a little more alive

Make an escape

Before we start to vaporize

Doubtless, we've been through this

So if you want to follow me you should know

I was lost then and I am lost now

And I doubt I'll ever know which way to go
