I sleep at night with
One torment in my head
The short-lived, complicated engine
That's planted in my chest
How can i force the time
To be my trusted friend
I roll in fear, escape my tears
Breathe in, and hope for the best
Do you ever wonder why
"It" doesn't talk to you
Even if "it" hears you cry
"It" doesn't work, like it should
Is "it" too great to care about
Anything you do
Does "it" even hear you cry
Or do you sleep all alone
Blinding colours blend in white
I see and try not to lose sight
Flying high, with wings that are flightless
Pushing forth, trying to fight
Breathing hope. can we be timeless
Fears will grow, edged with delight
I wake up each morning with
One comfort in my head
The short-lived, complicated engine
Still beats life to my chest
How can i lie to time
Knowing it will end
I shut my tears, accept my fears
Breathe in, and hope for the best
