Flashing before your eyes your life unfolds
Racing by, reaching out for something to hold
Faster than the speed of thought
It crumbles to dust, all that you've sought
Our lives are like footprints in the sand
At the mercy of the changing tide
You can deny it but you can't hide
Buried deep within you the truth resides
Searching for order amongst the chaos
Without it you'd be alone and lost
Trying to outrun your destiny, no matter the cost
All this I know, the burden weighs down on me
But there's more to life than this, I also see
I'm no genius, I'm no brave fighter
Just looking for the candle, to make the darkness a little brighter
