Lyrics

Trying to decipher fleeting thoughts, suppressed
Thousands of impulses breathing down my neck
Tantalize the ego, willpower stayed firm
Burglarized conviction, I refused to burn

I fought so valiantly; these feelings so strong
Helpless against the tidal wave that would come
How do I reconcile the truth I detect
For a few hours, life was perfect

Hiding in my conscience, planted in the heart
There’s a deeper realness, knew it from the start
Reigning in emotions, testing my resolve
Underneath the pillars, shifting sands evolve

I fought so valiantly; these feelings so strong
Helpless against the tidal wave that would come
How do I reconcile the truth I detect
For a few hours, life was perfect

Uncontrolled emotions threaten my resolve
Underneath the pillars, shifting sands evolve
