Tides of Time

Tell me how to begin

To pay you back for all your sins

Blindsided by the truth

You cannot hide, I cannot win

Accept your settled fate

To you, I’m an outcast… a renegade

But it's far, far down the well to fall

And you haven't seen the worst of it yet

You did it once and that's enough

I couldn't see to call your bluff

And your plans have all unraveled now

I guess that's how it goes

As the darkness creeps into the light

It gets much harder to tell wrong from right

I can't see anymore

Another slave to circumstance

You sail the tides of time

No longer in your grasp

You're tethered to the line

You thought you'd know by now

But know it you do not

That it's a hardcore cross to bear

When pain is all you've got

And when I finally looked inside of me

I didn’t find the man I thought I’d be

Now there’s nowhere to hide

From the truth of it all

Another charge into the great unknown

And I hope I can find my way home…

I alone have borne the sacrifice

Set upon to pay the highest price

For a life of misery and pain

Lay it out for everyone to see

Couldn’t be worse than what you did to me

There’s no one at the wheel

And now we’re off the tracks
