everything’s gone out of control silently sliding away
destiny’s end is calling again the future was yesterday
visions of light fade in my eyes energy falls from my hands
faint in the night echoes of life drown in the day’s demands
how did i get so stranded?
here i am built a house on the sand
and i know i’ve been slipping away too fast
slipping away

i caught a glimmer of what could be another future a possibility
but just a blink and it was gone and i was staring back at me
forever dreaming of what to do never achieving i never see it through
don’t want to live like yesterday this time my dreams are coming true

the clouds are rolling by there’s purpose in the sky
i’m rooted to the ground procrastinating
the sun’s about to set and nothing’s happened yet
don’t want to close my eyes i’m tired of waiting

lost in the safety of modern times nobody tells you to read between the lines
so you could stumble in the dark or you could open up your eyes

the clouds are rolling by there’s purpose in the sky
i’m rooted to the ground procrastinating
the sun’s about to set and nothing’s happened yet
don’t want to close my eyes i’m tired of waiting
i’m tired of waiting

i caught a glimmer of what could be another future a new reality
i’m going to chase it through the night i’m going to bring it back to me

the clouds are rolling by there’s purpose in the sky
i’m rooted to the ground procrastinating
the sun’s about to set and nothing’s happened yet
don’t want to close my eyes i’m tired of waiting
i’m tired of waiting

here i am built a house on the sand
and i know i’ve been slipping away too fast
slipping away

visions of light fade in my eyes energy falls from my hands
faint in the night echoes of life drown in the day’s demands
how can i stop them from slipping away
