lyrics

I’m sorry to be late
but I got lost,
on the way here I stumbled.
What’s left behind was painful to forgo.
I walk on my own.

Can’t wait forever.
Time is a treasure for those who are mortal.
These eyes won’t look away.

I don’t believe in fate,
lucky dice toss
or divine scheme to follow.
Trust that my mind is careful to ward off
deceit and control.

Can’t wait forever.
My soul, relentless, it chose its own hurdle.
These eyes won’t look away.

Hunger greater than fear,
previous falls have made it clear.
Hidden danger in unknown defeat,
devious solace.
Reason better than might,
conscience calls the worthy fight.
Daring wager or shameful retreat,
quiet does not mean peace.

Holding aim still so my eyes blear,
but will not let them shut,
I refuse to blink back tears.
To relinquish is to be weak,
walk on thorns and ignore how deep they cut.
Won’t lose sight of what I seek.

My bid is all that I am,
there’s no other choice, no higher price to pay.
My bid is all that I am,
take me now but give me hope of a new day.

Though I didn’t come to stay,
I am looking for some kind of permanence.
I will walk great lengths without going astray.
Will my ripple give rise to your turbulence?

If you just wait for long enough,
heaven will turn to hell
and all that you know shall fade.
All you love the flame will engulf,
wreaking havoc, impossible to quell.
Act before it is too late.

My bid is all that I am,
there’s no other choice, no higher price to pay.
My bid is all that I am,
take me now but give me hope of a new day.
