lyrics

It's all too easy to close your eyes
Stop to rest for a moment and the days blow by
You tell yourself it's all you can do just to survive
But sometimes you wonder...

They say a man is nothing more than what he's done and seen
So if I only think about it am I something less
In my imagination there's a better man I've been
In real life I'm not quite him

Do I want the life I have
And if I had the courage
Could it be a different way
This is not how I thought it would be
Walking on the treadmill
While the time slips through my hands
And I rage against the fading of the light

The force of habit, the weight of need
With her arms to help me
Can I clear a space to breathe
The finding is easy, but it's hard to keep
With the strength of desperation
I hold to my dreams

Is this all there is to me
And if I die tomorrow
Will the world remain the same
Is talk worth anything at all
Paved with good intentions
Is that the road I'm on
And I rage against the fading of my life
