Lyrics

and there comes another morning,
and there comes another day. the last
one went without a warning, leaving
me exposed to a rising sun`s rays. one
moment ago I was molded from clay,
now I`m only dirt. and anywhere I go I am
going astray. with every word.

you wear a smile on your face, one that
never fades, while I just wait to fall back
in place. but no one else waits, no one
else waits. one moment ago I was painted
light grey, now I`m turning black. and
anywhere I go I am going astray and not
turning back, not turning back..

and I hear the ticking, and I spot the
bomb. I`ve been screaming, kicking, I`ve
been losing my aplomb. one moment ago
I was safe and at peace, quiet, warm and
well, I don`t even know how to tame this
beast that inhabits my shell.

one moment ago I was knowing my way
and keeping well on track. now anywhere
I go I am going astray with no turning
back, no turning back.
