The Rise And Fall Of Time
On the brink of breaking I stop to think,
Was larger than life, Now I’m forced to shrink down to nothing,
How should I survive, with no hope or instruction?
Is this all there is, pain and destruction?
Now as I sit here in pain,
I think of the good times over and over again,
Wishing they would come back to me,
Now I think about the bad times not about the good times,
Will I make it through the falling and climbs?
When the lights go out will I be afraid?
When it all comes to an end will I be ashamed?
I’ll leave it all behind for the future,
I’ll do what it takes to be beyond unsure.
Now as I sit here in pain,
I think of the good times over and over again,
Wishing they would come back to me,
Now I think about the bad times not about the good times,
Will I make it through the falling and climbs?
When lies don’t cover up what’s wrong,
All that’s left is to hide and sing my songs,
When the devil comes to take me home,
Will you be there or will I go alone?
Where does the time go?
After all these years, what’s to show?
After all these tears, this is all I know,
Will I make it through and grow,
Or will I die and finally go home?
