I can't believe the sails left the horizon And I can't handle this truth Seemed to occur piece by piece But you never let it get to you The baring of lost, I can't afford this cost Different emotions running through Years have gone by, run out of time There's no, there's no way Although I gained influence, it's hard to come by Why does this happen all the time? Life's instructions read between the lines Set in stone, who'll claim your throne? Life's personal detention I got mental hesitations The chain's been broke, we've lost our connections So who's gonna pull us through? Ignorance is bliss, I still clench my fists But the message ain't clear to you I see your reflection, a healthy injection Characteristics working through Slow transformation through generations A small price to pay As I've gained influence, it's hard to come by Why does this happen all the time? Life's instructions read between the lines It's set in stone, who'll claim your throne? Life's personal detention I got mental hesitations I remember if it was just now With that cross above your brow As you laid your sweet blonde head "Bed of Roses" was playing, I was seeing red These times are hard It's really hard to let go But as I look back now I hope your thoughts of me are high and proud So let's just move on our personal shows What comes next, we will never know
