The Further

Where the future pours into the past by the pinch of now There is a ticking, where the seconds fade away (fade away) The sand in the hourglass will one day pour out As if looking into a story That was never mine to begin with Will I ever be able to understand the weight on my shoulders? A deathly silence from the other room Amplified by the stillness Where ghosts whose seconds tick away (tick away) They tend to never leave I was scared to see what I would be If I looked in the mirror But if the grip of time would just let me go I will remember the person that I was meant to be I watched the walls collapse And let out all of their secrets I never wanted to let you down But I felt my morals slipping As I left myself at the door, I never wanted to let you down Disappointed (disappointed) at my hopes and expectations Somehow I wanted more and now I stand (and now I stand) Waving back at defeat as I stare in the face of victory I know who I was meant to be I was scared to see what I would be If I looked in the mirror But if the grip of time would just let me go I will remember the person that I was meant to be Now that I can see it's a whole new world (a whole new world) It's hard to believe that it's been here before There is a ticking where the seconds fade away Regret nothing because those broken walls only make you who you are You can always rebuild, rebuild, rebuild You can always rebuild, rebuild, rebuild You can always rebuild, rebuild, rebuild Rebuild those broken walls
