Events

It's like I heard it for the first time
Frozen memory played again today
I wanted to believe but could not find
A safer road then events just sailed away
Wandering in shadows only I know
The worn path in my mind
Coulda been a way but Heaven knows
No answers I'll find
I didn't take part
I didn't even know
Standing world's apart
Helpless and fighting the undertow
Years of reaching for solitude
But I waited too long
And events never seemed to go our way
The foolish dreams we had
No worries when you're young
Before the storm
The world alight like a fire ever burning
The songs that were sung
Before the struggle the songs that were sung
I tried so hard to arrange the world
To suit you with my misguided eyes
Only a fool believes his own lies
I didn't take part
I didn't even know
Standing world's apart
Helpless and fighting the undertow
Years of reaching for solitude
But I waited too long
And events never seemed to go our way
I didn't know
The heart fights then finds delusion
We tried right it under shadows and illusions
But the walls went up
And events just sailed away
