[Verse 1]
Sometimes I feel like my reason is weakening,
My inner clock's forcing time to stand still.
I'm breaching borders between life and sanity,
That's when it all starts to shatter in front of me.
(Liberate me...)
Sometime I feel I'm betraying me memory,
This time it seems that I'm losing the fight.
Finding it hard to become consciously part of life,
That's when awareness and dreams start to separate.
(Unite me...)
[Chorus]
As time goes by, I hide the truth,
Cannot stand myself with a broken shell.
As time goes by, I try to choose,
Don't know where to roam in this private hell.
Give me relief,
Let me believe,
Between sweet fiction and reality.
[Verse 2]
My train of thoughts garble up some words along the way,
I'm chasing shadows that cross on my path.
Repeating visions that dance faster than my mind,
Can't stop the rain casting shadows on my parade.
(Can't defeat me...)
[Chorus Repeat]
[Verse 3]
(Mark) Another life, another mind, close to insanity.
Another road, a cryptic code, the second stone.
(Choir) All that is left is a cross that's mine to bear.
A cruse with no ending drenched in anxiety.
[Chorus]
As time goes by, I hide the truth,
Cannot stand myself in a broken shell.
Give me relief,
Let me believe,
Between sweet fiction and reality.
As time goes by I try to choose,
Don't know where to roam in the private hell.
Give me relief,
Let me believe,
Between sweet fiction and reality.
Sometimes I feel like my reason is weakening,
My inner clock's forcing time to stand still.
I'm breaching borders between life and sanity,
That's when it all starts to shatter in front of me.
(Liberate me...)
Sometime I feel I'm betraying me memory,
This time it seems that I'm losing the fight.
Finding it hard to become consciously part of life,
That's when awareness and dreams start to separate.
(Unite me...)
[Chorus]
As time goes by, I hide the truth,
Cannot stand myself with a broken shell.
As time goes by, I try to choose,
Don't know where to roam in this private hell.
Give me relief,
Let me believe,
Between sweet fiction and reality.
[Verse 2]
My train of thoughts garble up some words along the way,

Repeating visions that dance faster than my mind,

As time goes by I try to choose,
Don't know where to roam in the private hell.
Give me relief,
Let me believe,
Between sweet fiction and reality.
