How far come we were young Our preconceptions now So I wonder what you dream
In mind I might be things to greater heights But like Icarus, the flames are And turn into nightmares

I never saw myself as one who went the lines Our momentum takes us, and in an instant it's behind us
sacrilege to take advantage of the blind But what about uncertainties that work to cloud our If our causes us to go astray, Who can us try to find our way?
I never saw myself as one whose life was a race out of control But in the mirror I see the lines deeper on my face
