lyrics

Fate

Open your eyes to another day, all possibilities in which to play.
But you'll deal your deals and plan your plans while the creases form upon your hands.

The second hand spends round and round, taxing your days without a sound.
You plot your future and log your past, ignore the fact that nothing lasts.

All the lines you've drawn align in time and space, as random chances slip silently away.
(C) Pain is a seed. Some things can't be.

The hours fall, you fill the page, the days depart, you pace your cage.
And listless is your soul in your mock security, it cries and kicks and screams in your dull maturity.

The years drone on, you waste your time filling out forms, standing in line.
Live by rules that someone else has set... squander every opportunity you get.

Father Time is laughing horribly at you and all the freedoms you'll eternally eschew.
