Peaceful Lies

Lost in my mind, somewhere outside these walls
Desperate for the day I have it all
But at the end of my time when all is said and done
Will I be proud of the person who I've become?

I've come so far
But I feel so small
Is it better to feel sorrow
Than nothing at all?
And if we choose to turn our minds away
Does the sting of death still hurt the same?

The sands of time will suffocate all that I've done,
Things I've dreamed, memories made, everyone I've loved
Sleepless nights I fantasize of being more than just a number
Peaceful lies that pacify, guiding me to slumber
Nothing lasts forever, on this mortal plane
Just a speck in the cosmos
Nothing really makes a change

I've come so far
But I feel so small
Is it better to feel sorrow
Than nothing at all?
And if we choose to turn our minds away
Does the sting of death still hurt the same?

Nevertheless we sell our souls to the ride with no stop
Working, trudging, withering, till the day we drop
But to the universe
We're nothing more than dust

I've come so far
But I feel so small
Is it better to feel sorrow
Than nothing at all?
And if we choose to turn our minds away
Does the sting of death still hurt the same?
I've come so far
But I feel so small
Is it better to feel sorrow
Than nothing at all?
And if we choose to turn our minds away
Does the sting of death still hurt the same?
