Everything's gone out of control, silently sliding away   Destiny's end is calling again, the future was yesterday   Visions of light fade in my eyes, energy falls from my hands   Faint in the night, echoes of life drown in the day's demands   How did I get so stranded?      Here I am, built a house on the sand   And I know I've been slipping away too fast   Slipping away      I caught a glimmer of what could be   Another future a possibility   But just a blink and it was gone   And I was staring back at me   Forever dreaming of what to do   Never achieving, I never see it through   Don't want to live like yesterday   This time my dreams are coming true      The clouds are rolling by, there's purpose in the sky   I'm rooted to the ground, procrastinating   The sun's about to set and nothing's happened yet   Don't want to close my eyes, I'm tired of waiting      Lost in the safety of modern times   Nobody tells you to read between the lines   So you could stumble in the dark   Or you could open up your eyes      The clouds are rolling by, there's purpose in the sky   I'm rooted to the ground, procrastinating   The sun's about to set and nothing's happened yet   Don't want to close my eyes, I'm tired of waiting   I'm tired of waiting      I caught a glimmer of what could be   Another future, a new reality   I'm going to chase it through the night   I'm going to bring it back to me      The clouds are rolling by, there's purpose in the sky   I'm rooted to the ground, procrastinating   The sun's about to set and nothing's happened yet   Don't want to close my eyes, I'm tired of waiting   I'm tired of waiting      Here I am, built a house on the sand   And I know I've been slipping away too fast   Slipping away      Visions of light fade in my eyes, energy falls from my hands   Faint in the night, echoes of life drown in the day's demands   How can I stop them from slipping away?
