______________ By John Carter

It's just one of those things, happens when you grow old
When you've traded in all of your dreams for your goals
You've tired of the truth, yet you're losing your old sense of wonder
It comes like a flash in the dark of your mind
And it seems so damn clear, it's been there all this time
The curtain pulls back, you snap out of the spell you've been under

We can't change the past, but the future remains
There's nothing that says it should all be the same
So don't say you're sorry, just love me instead
Apology weighs heavy, a stone in my head

You can't fight the end, though you know that it's coming
It comes even sooner the faster you're running
You'll take one last breath and give in to the darkness unfolding
It's senseless and fruitless to search for ways out
It just means you don't know what this was about
What good will they do you now, all of those secrets you're holding?

We can't change the past, but the future remains
There's nothing that says it should all be the same
So don't say you're sorry, just love me instead
Apology weighs heavy, a stone in my head

Nothing in here will be all that it seems
And it all looks so far away, just like those dreams
The ones where you're flying and everything's small
Flowing below you like nothing at all
It's gone when you wake, all that's left is your pain
The sound of your crying still blends with the rain...
