Blink Of An Eye

I've been feeling one step past dead with the weight of the world on my shoulders And all the voices screaming in my head are selling my soul at auction Our blended sense of time look around what have we made of it When pleasure fits the crime were all guilty just face it Can't hide behind reflective eyes When your me is you and I'm seeing life begin as it ends In the blink of an eye I'm getting back in touch with who I am after living through a lifetime of hang-ups Looking back on choices I've made I've judged myself like the lines growing on my face The paths we choose not always set in stone and like a river that moves the earth I find we share a mother beneath our feet and a father in the stars Yet we're having trouble harnessing love in our hearts Would I be compassionate if my fate was bound in yours Could I lay myself at your feet without being stepped on or scorned I'm done throwing stones at a world that looks like me It's never made life easier pointing fingers or causing a scene Look on my mistakes as steady lessons in life Realize wisdom gained has been passed down through time We are the vice in life we strive to break We are the vice in life we strive to break Can't hide behind reflective eyes When your me is you and I'm seeing life begin as it ends In the blink of an eye
