Lyrics

The clock ticks in reverse for you
Time’s arrow runs you through and through
You seemed a gift when I first knew you
Now I can’t help but see right through you
Man child
Can’t find the place where we connected
Can’t see the beauty that once affected
You were the space and I projected
A lonely spirit that I protected
Man child
Is this disillusion? Is this bitterness?
Is this sanity? Is this distress?
Is this out of love? Is this end of quest?
Is this wisdom? Is this for the best?
The blows in our love are like lies to a mother
A warning call from a maddened lover
Who fights for his woman like there’ll be no other
And you, you never fought for me
Man child
I should have known when I first met you
The goddess vanity would stroke and paw you
You want the path of least resistance
More than art and you keep your distance
Man child
Is this disillusion? Is this bitterness?
Is this sanity? Is this distress?
Is this out of love? Is this end of quest?
Is this wisdom? Is this for the best?
Could I have taught you anything
You didn’t really want to know?
For you stop your ears like Ulysses
And my siren song burns low
Man child
Do you hear the sands of time?
Do you hear the strain to rhyme?
Do you think I’m out of line?
Won’t you send me one more sign?
Man child
Is this disillusion? Is this bitterness?
Is this sanity? Is this distress?
Is this out of love? Is this end of quest?
Is this wisdom? Is this for the best?
