lyrics

We are lost, wandering off of the path we should walk.
We are blinded by false idols, we’ve been led astray.

Take one precious moment to ask yourself with honesty:
When you’re lying on your deathbed and you whisper your last goodbye…
As you take your final breath will it be pain or peace that fills your mind?
And as you slip away, will you ask yourself?
Will you ask yourself?

So have I wasted all my days? Time kept running from me.
I’ve lost my way escaping from reality.
So have I wasted all my days? Time kept running from me.
Looking back I could’ve been,
I could’ve been so much more!

You’ve traded your soul for security.
You’re an empty shell of who you used to be.
Left behind your lust for life, you’re content to spend it all on a fantasy.

Every second holds perfection,
Every moment holds the truth.

Take a deep breath and close your eyes.
Open your Heart.
The grass is never greener on the other side.
Open your Heart,
Unshackle your mind.

In a realm of hungry ghosts,
We waste our days clawing at the walls.
Desperately hoping to find something real, something real.

Take one precious moment to ask yourself with honesty:
When you’re lying on your deathbed and you whisper your last goodbye,
Will you ask yourself?

So have I wasted all my days? Time kept running from me.
I’ve lost my way, escaping from reality.
So have I wasted all my days? Time kept running from me.
Looking back I could’ve been,
I could’ve been so much more.
So much more.
