Time Flies By

Every day a surprise
Every time a distraction
All the while I do try
To hold my hope inside
But my day's growing short
And my mind growing weaker
I don't recognize myself
When I look in the mirror

My words are not my words
When they spill out of my mouth
And my world is not my world
I trip and fall to the ground
All my wants and my dreams
And everything I'd ever seek
Could they ever leave me
Do I still believe
Lately I've been thinking
About what will arrive
What will die when I try
And stop hiding in a lie
How hard I held hope
Even when my dreams would expire
I'm not feeling any younger

Time flies by and I
Can't find my way in life

I'm stuck in-between now and my past
Things seem to be moving too fast
My mind seems to unravel next
And I can't see what else is left
This voice isn't mine, it's way out of line
Feels like I'm lying to myself
When thoughts and the words escaping me
Are not reflections of who I see

A stranger to the world
A world of things I don't know
I am out of my own
Bearing cold heart and soul, left all alone
So lost in the dark
Still out of control
I am far from my home
I'm afraid of what comes after the day
Into the night
Of who I'll become in the confines
Of the greatest insecurities I hide
Behind my own mask
Pretending something's there
When a void is all I feel
Where has the light of hope gone
It's too late for us to be young

Time flies by and I
Can't find my way in life

Time flies by and I
Can't find my way in life
I just need to fight
To find myself again
