Nick Leonard - Time Was My Only Peer Lyrics

Too far did I fly
Into the future
A horror seized
Upon me
Looking backwards
Homewards, always faster
Look around me, lo!
Time was my only peer

Although so alarmed
I had yet to laugh
You could wear no better masks
Than your own faces

Times and people gaze
Out of your veils
Who would strip you
Of your veils and wrappers?

Concealed
Behind false professions of worth-you hide
Away from becoming greater than you are
Overcoming normalcy
Concealed
Behind false professions of worth-you hide
Away

Half-open doors are you
At which grave-diggers wait
Thus is your life
All deserves to perish
