Played out within the hour.
I watched my friends,
As if they were already dead.
Memories of the music and laughs,
Caught up in the wheels.
It's all about forward motion.
Not where we'll end up,
But where we are going to get there.
So my spectar of the past
Reaches into my mind, and refuses to let go.
Forcing me to watch it all again.
I feel tattered and frayed,
Like a white button collared shirt.
The cotton is burning in the bleach,
Leaving my scars exposed,
And the scars have destroyed what's left of me.

I have watched the last few years of my life
Played out within the hour.
I watched my friends,
As if they were already dead.
Memories of the music and laughs,
Caught up in the wheels.
It's all about forward motion.
Not where we'll end up,
But where we are going to get there.
So my spectar of the past
Reaches into my mind, and refuses to let go.
Forcing me to watch it all again.
I feel tattered and frayed,
Like a white button collared shirt.
The cotton is burning in the bleach,
Leaving my scars exposed,
And the scars have destroyed what's left of me.
