Looking back on 54 years
It's half the time to make a life
Less then half to disappear

You know what I know too
That I wait


And life
It's fires consume me
It relentlessly wounds me

And leaves just this waste behind
Fleeting echoes stirring in my mind


(Chorus) You can believe me when I tell you
There can be no other way
I have lived here always bound by

A sense that I have no place in this world I live ashamed
For these 54 years


Time
Be it as it may
An imaginary notion

An illusion I pray

And I

Have for so long wandered
And often I have wondered
What makes me this way

I have wasted all my life away
