Life span
[intro]
Life is a sucker, life is a pain,
It feels like there is nothing but rain,
A cloud of rain hovering over me,
My heads spinning round and I’m so dizzy,
[verse 1]
Spinning round like a merry go round,
I really do wish I was heaven bound,
How many years do I have left,
This life to me seems like grand theft,
Counting the days as they slip through my hands,
Trapped in the middle of shifting old sands,
Trying to figure out where I belong,
Feeling like everything here got it wrong.
[chorus]
Oh, the clock keeps on ticking, the seconds fly past,
Wondering how long this heavy heart lasts,
Stuck in the shadows with nowhere to go,
Moving too fast or moving too slow.
Yeah, the road is so rocky, the weather is cold,
Living a story that's hard to be told.
[verse 2]
Every corner I turn there's a wall in the way,
Just waiting around for the end of the day,
Carrying weight that is heavy to hold,
Stories of silver that never turned gold.
Footsteps are dragging, the pavement is gray,
Wishing that trouble would just fade away.
[bridge]
And the noise in my head keeps on turning around,
Searching the silence for one quiet sound,
Trying to find where the comfort can hide,
When there's nothing left tethered or waiting inside.
[chorus]
Oh, the clock keeps on ticking, the seconds fly past,
Wondering how long this heavy heart lasts,
Stuck in the shadows with nowhere to go,
Moving too fast or moving too slow.
Yeah, the road is so rocky, the weather is cold,
Living a story that's hard to be told.
[verse 3]
Pages are turning on chapters worn thin,
Wondering where all the quiet begins,
Looking ahead at the miles left to roam,
Just trying to find a way back to a home.
Holding together the pieces that break,
Tired of every mistake that I make.
[bridge 2]
The horizon is distant, the twilight is dim,
Standing right here on the edge of the brim,
Waiting for answers that never quite land,
Watching the time slip away through my hand.
[chorus]
Oh, the clock keeps on ticking, the seconds fly past,
Wondering how long this heavy heart lasts,
Stuck in the shadows with nowhere to go,
Moving too fast or moving too slow.
Yeah, the road is so rocky, the weather is cold,
Living a story that's hard to be told.
[outro]
Fade to the quiet,
Fade to the gray,
Just another heavy,
End of the day.
The curtain falls down,
The silence remains,
Wash it all out,
In the cold, endless rain...
