A grain of sand in the wind In a desert of vain searches A life without a purpose May be the worst of all curses Rocking on a tightrope Survival rather than fullness Smiles without a goal A state of perpetual dullness Live for today Yesterday is gone Tomorrow may never come Time flies Like a magic carpet ride Staring at the wall Looking Pictures of my dreams Hindsight Defying the sands of time Wandering over shattered pieces from reality I'm the architect of my own dreams I don't want to live the cosmic sim Reflecting on foolish mistakes Flying high across my memories Clinging to concrete hopes Waiting up to live new stories No regrets for what was done Just for what was left to do Then one realizes how short life is When the ghost of time haunts you Live for today Yesterday is gone Tomorrow may never come Time flies Like a magic carpet ride Staring at the wall Looking pictures of my dreams Hindsight Defying the sands of time Wandering over shattered pieces from reality I'm the architect of my own dreams I don't want to live the cosmic sim Lying on a mattress made of shadows from the past I've been locked in this madness prison I don't want to live this life If I cannot escape from insanity If I cannot escape from reality Time flies Like a magic carpet ride Staring at the wall Looking pictures of my dreams Hindsight Defying the sands of time Wandering over shattered pieces from reality I'm the architect of my own dreams I don't want to live the cosmic sim Lying on a mattress made of shadows from the past I've been locked in this madness prison I don't want to live this life If I cannot escape from insanity If I cannot escape from reality If I cannot escape from insanity
