The years have increased into my skin Marked by the lines below my eyes I've learned to live within my sins Now in the dark I feel alive Time reflects every steps of my past From a laughter on a sunny day From a child who's grown way too fast Into a man with nothing to say Inside my heart I'm covered in scars Hiding my pain behind a smile I've watched my friends become night stars So I've shut the door for a while I've lost my way out of a dream About love that can't be seen I found balance on a golden string Held by a whisper in the wind I'm leaning upon a burning mind Fighting the flames spreading around I've read the words that I could find Before the flames could burn them down I changed the lines surrounding my past Leading my feet along the way To walk upon the years of my life Searching for a laughter on a sunny day I found my way out of a dream About love that can't be seen I fell down from this broken string Sharing the words upon a scene When youth is just a memory Ready to open its wings Leaving a man feeling sorry That he couldn't keep everything
