I remember a time
When I was a virgin mind
Watched the crimson sunrise
And imagined what it might find
Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Glancing the depths of winter snow
Instincts caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life to see
Yet I knew there must be more
ย
But those days are gone now
Changed like a leaf on a tree
Gone away forever
Into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
And I know where I stand
All of my childhood memories
Left lying in the sand
ย
In my den of inactivity
Narcissistic, sad delicacy
Struggle to fight the sane
Struggle to ease the pain
Ignorance surrounding me
I've never been so filled with fear
Now I know that there is more
The warmth is gone
But the chill's forever here
ย
"Carpe diem" is "seize the day"
I'll always remember
The chill of November
The news of the fall
The sounds in the hall
The clock on the wall
Ticking away
"Seize the day"
I heard him say
"Life will not always be this way"
Look around and hear the sound
Another time like this can't be found
"Life's too short to dwell on our tragedies"
"What's the use of looking back?"
"What's the use of looking ahead?"
"Today's the day"
We can learn from the past
But those days are gone
We can hope for the future
Though there may not be one
ย
Even when my days
Are less than one on earth
I can seize the day
To hold my first birth
ย
I said I want you
To cry
ย
So far, so few between
My eyes filled full with desire fulfilled
All my dreams came true
All the world and all of you
Every day there's a constant reminder
Of all the pleasures we shared together
Love is not just a passing word
It's a state of heart that goes on forever
Stood outside in the rain for us
I tried to work out all the pain for us
I sat alone and took the blame for us
My mind has torn and gone insane for us
Innocent sinner, repeat offender
Promiscuous promiser, fame lender
Indecisive decisions causing heartless divisions
Shattering all my visions of love
ย
All the world
I gave to you all of the world
ย
All the world
I gave to you all of the world
ย
"Children of yesterday
Heirs of tomorrow
What do you mean?
Laziness? Sorrow?
Look to your moment again
Faster and faster
You fly the great shuttle
Carried by the past"
ย
So much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
Run through my head
Memories that taught me
For better, for worse
Alive or dead
I realize there's no turning back
Life goes on
Beyond the end track
ย
I sit down with my friend
Check to see the crimson sun set
He's my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my day is done
I'm speaking to the sun
He says, "Don't go, don't go
Please don't go, don't go
No, don't go"
ย
"For the first time in a long time
I finally came to terms with it"
