lyrics

For the longest time
It was held under my control
I held it close
Never left it drift away
Watched it round the clock
Like a guard on patrol

In the blink of an eye
An apathetic man
Snatched it away
In the middle of the day
It took a second guess
To see what you've know
Fall from your arms
To lose control

Is it better to feel the joy of knowing
Just to have it all stripped away
Or is it better to never know at all
To let the joy slip away

Like the weight of thousand stones crushing down
Like the strings that attach ripping away
Like water flowing up to drown your senses
Everything that you know is gone

Building it up from day one
Piling stones one by one
Creating structure from the ground
100 years of stepping stones
Flash before the eyes
What your about to see
Don't act so suprised
For you you've known it all the time
Everyone thats gone before knows the way it ends
Every single stone that you have placed
Is going to be demised
