times are far between and few i bet when we can look upon our lives without regret
of all the things i have done you think i’m proud of everyone without exception
’till you make your peace with yesterday you’ll never build a future
i swear by what i say
whatever penance you do decide what it’s worth to you and then respect it
however long it will take to weather your mistakes why not accept it
my hands for now are tied
i’m a body frozen
i’m a will that’s paralyzed
when will you ever set aside your pain and misery
no matter how i beg no matter how i wish or plead you’ll never be more than alive
you’ll never do more than survive until you expect it
do you want to build a world with our lives
you better soon decide or you can forget it
my hands for now are tied
i’m a body frozen
i’m a will that’s paralyzed
’till you drop that heavy baggage you’re dragging behind there won’t be room for us to both go this ride
