Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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?
[Verse 3]
Why should we waste it on
Buying into the same old lies?
The longer we wait around
The faster the years go by
[Verse 4]
It's not too late
To feel a little more alive
Make our escape
Before we start to vaporize
[Verse 5]
Doubtless, we've been through this
So if you want to follow me, you should know
I was lost then and I'm lost now
And I doubt I'll ever know which way to go
