Queensryche - One More Time lyrics

rate me

Behind my eyes

I keep my truth from you.

No one enters

this secret place,

the barrier only I embrace.

Time is fleeing now

they say,

Take time to look inside

and face... the change.

Dig down deep

to find the man I thought I was.

A dog on a treadmill panting,

the master pulls the leash, laughing.

Now I can't remember why

I needed to run, needed to try so hard.

One more time around

is all I ask for now,

a star to seek by, wind to

take me home again.

"Work hard in life boy,

there's paradise in the end."

Year after year we struggle to gain

the happiness our parents never claimed.

They told us all we had to do

was do what we're told, buy what was sold,

"Invest in gold, and never get old."

One more time around

is all I ask for now,

a star to steer by, wind to

take me home again.
