I’m moving forward now
Faded burned photograph
Time is fleeting now
Shades of once remembered
What’s the cost of experience?
From my youth, for my innocence?
Day after day it still echoes on and on and on
Words in my head repeating
These thoughts alone defeating
For reasons I don’t dare ask
I’m neither here nor there
If I had the will to grasp
Or choice to make at (it) last
Would good fortune look my way?
For peace or strength to seize the day
What’s the cost of experience?
From my youth, for my innocence?
Day after day it still echoes on and on and on
Lower my voice, raise my head
Save my breath on words that are never said
Grace or hope for salvation
These thoughts, these words
My damnation
One grand desire, singularity
So hear now my swansong
This world is done with me
I’m moving forward now
Day after day it still echoes on
From my youth for my innocence
Day after day it still echoes on
