every day goes by

and i ask myself why i do these things

i look back and cry

for the foolishness and time and taken

but i keep on forgiving

but the pain i feel keeps digging into me

falling on my knees

is the only way that i can overcome

these around us i'm turned away

the life we know about is tossed away

the joy that surrounds us is covered by

our self inflicted pain

joy is crushed beneath us

where time long gone

love is pushed aside

why is time selective

taking only things that keep us moving on

feeling empty inside

looking up to you for strength that i need

falling on my knees

is the only way that i can overcome

these around us i'm turned away

the life we know about is tossed away

the joy that surrounds us is covered by

a self reflecting pain

things around us are turned away

the life we know about is tossed away

the joy that surrounds us is covered by

our self inflicted pain
