Why must things fade away
Lost are the lights of yesterday
I sit in wake of tomorrow
It holds the time I wish to borrow
"Wait here on line"
Says the unspoken sign
Watching my patience unwind
Expecting something kind
To show up on the horizon
Because where I've been
Recedes into darkness
I don't know what I missed
Why must things fade away
Lost are the lights of yesterday
I sit in wake of tomorrow
It holds the time I wish to borrow
Sitting by the sea
Reflecting on what life could be
If I changed time's grasp on me
If I changed...
Yet the ripples in the current
Prompt me to seize the moment
To change the toxic climate
To make waves, a way to fix it
Why must things fade away
Lost are the lights of yesterday
I sit in wake of tomorrow
It holds the time I wish to borrow
It holds the time I wish to borrow
It holds the time I wish to borrow
