Can you feel the light touch the inside of your mind
Can you feel the wave cover your body
As you reach back and touch the sun
The tings you did when you were young

What happened to all the good times
Is this just a taste of what is to come
Maybe we should try a little harder
Overcome the fear of our wasting away and hide

Deep inside my head
The wheels slowly grind to a halt
Time like a concrete tomb
Steadily closes in from all sides
When they meet
Whatever was between
Exists no more

Changes
another dimension

New
no end in sight

This is where we're all heading
Time has finally found its end
It was quite fast after all
And soon we forget the pain
