Fates Warning - Chasing Time lyrics

rate me

I've watched in silence, without seeing

as a stranger within me grew.

Detached and distanced from the day

while youth's precious years flew.

Chasing time through empty skies

of endless hours,

living for the future.

Visions of brighter days to come

kept the shadows from my sight,

made the present bearable

and obscured the fading light.

Chasing time through the cold void

of solitary days,

living for the future.

Today is within my reach

and tomorrow is so illusive.

But I'm still chasing time

through increasing disillusion,

forever living for

the future of an illusion.
