lyrics

There were times that the lighting created illusions
and I let their distractions determine my pace
I was poised, and so eager and ready to get there
unaware of things that I’d miss on the way

it’s a bitter escape from this world that we made
and these things that we love to pretend that we hate
but we don’t, we just see them as part of some problem

Make it count. Make them moments and days to remember
when they’re gone, they will never be looked at the same
It’s a time that I kept with harrowing haste
while everyone else moved with steadying pace
now I’m watching and waiting to take it all in, while I’m still here

I refocus my sights on the looks on each face
every time that I pull away from a parting embrace
Take in all that I see, question all that it means
knowing someday we’ll all be diseased then released

Now we’re opening palms, so poised to receive
everyone asks, because everyone needs
we’re constantly changing, but it’s a lateral growth
unaware of the things that we’re missing the most
till they’re here and we just can’t pretend to ignore them
make it count, or just pack it up and put it away

It’s a bitter escaped from this world that we made
and these things that we love to pretend that we hate
but we don’t… we just see them as part of some problem
that doesn’t exist.
