Lyrics:

I wake up on this hazy dawn, with dreams that glow
I want to flow where the river takes my soul
But these hanging clouds, they drown me
Oh, is it worth the time, as long as there is time?

There’s always tomorrow, to face mediocrity
I wish I could stop, this damn soliloquy
This endless angst, is stuck so deep
Oh is it worth the time, won’t it all end in void?

(Spoken word)
I wonder what it’s all about?
Which path do I take now?
What’s the meaning of it all?
How do I live?
Can I know the end before the start?
Is there more to it than the end?
Dying, dying till our last breath

Time’s running out, my heart’s beating loud
Distractions abound
How do I make this freedom count?
Distractions abound

(Sung)
I wish my train of thought would stop just this once
I panic, can’t breathe, time chokes my throat
Oh, everything I touch seems to float away
I’m sinking to madness and there is no escape

I don’t like what the mirror shows, yet cannot seem to change
Inertia’s my cocoon, I seem willingly caged
In this veil of dread, I’m frozen forever
Oh is it worth the time, as long as there is time?
