for a common enemy
before you close your eyes
and rest within the comfort at your side
before i say goodbye
drowning in confusion and i try to fight these memories
but the truth remains
you can give me everything, but you couldn’t give me pain
again, and again
a coward with a smile
circled by collections of denial
running all the while
with no destination and i try to find a remedy
but the truth remains
you can give me everything, but you couldn’t give me pain
* you never gave me time
to find out what it means
to hold the world within your hands
and sacrifice it all for dreams
(no you never gave me time)
(to find out what i needed)
(now i’m left here with no answers)
in spite of what i’ve heard
silence speaks the world without a word
to see with vision blurred
dragged by futures chains i am determined to break this mystery
but the truth remains
you can give me everything, but you couldn’t give me pain *
play the game again
motions guide the bitter lie you must defend
time is a lonely friend
one prepared to stay until the end
