I stare into eternity Always one step ahead of me. I touch its wake every single day But it slips from my grip and away. When what was given is gone A one-way road to oblivion And as I fight for just one more breath I awake to the reality of death. You wouldn't ever want to try See through my eyes You'd break like a child inside If you ever realized Through a mirror of time I see your reflection In the image that is me. I won't be around for too long I too will see oblivion And as I struggle to hang on My life will fade until I'm gone. It's my secret number And everybody wins this one It's not as if time is on my side We all drown in the same tide. I stare into eternity Always one step ahead of me. I touch its wake every single day But it slips from my grip and away. It's my secret number And everybody wins this one It's not as if time is on my side We all drown in the same tide. You wouldn't ever want to try See through my eyes You'd break like a child inside If you ever realized On an everlasting sea The tide of evolution goes on For eternity You wouldn't ever want to try See through my eyes You'd break like a child inside If you ever realized On an everlasting sea The tide of evolution goes on For eternity
