I've had a few too many to drive
And I'm tired of being alive
'Cause I take everything for granted 'til it's gone
And I don't want to be alone
My least favorite place to be
Just another life revolving, lifeless on this stone

Inside each of our lives there lies a constant theme
A thru-line which unites us in our lonliness
Within all of our lives there lives the will to need
Beyond walls that divide us in our only-ness

I want to find a way to bind
Reason, rhyme and the passage of time

Departure from the mission we abort and so it went
The ships kept getting lost amidst the waves of discontent
Love and anger turn around the willing fight to flee
And leave the truth beyond to join the urgent tyranny
I want to see a wall between this mirror and me

I want to find a way to bind
Reason, rhyme and the passage of time

I tried to find a way out but the clock struck me

If I say surely the darkness will hide me
And the light become night around me
If I say surely the darkness will hide me
And the light become night around me

Another day lies dying as a new day lies in wait
The vain illusion lives again this new day seals it's fate
Year after year we've buried let the tears of clowns regret
New dreams will rise and fall in time my child
Beneath our debt

I can't help you, I don't need this, I want out

I want to find a way to bind
Reason, rhyme and the passage of time

If I say surely the darkness will hide me
And the light become night around me
If I say surely the darkness will hide me
And the light become night around me

Oh Lord you have searched me
And you know me
You know when I sit and when I rise
You perceive my thoughts from afar
You discern my going out and my lying down
You are familiar with all my ways
Before a word is on my tongue
You know it completely oh Lord
