Alone he sits in an unknown place
Danger comes to bring a smile
Complex searching is complex hurting
To smash your image smash your style
Lies hide in the shadow of words
No time to gaze when I’m running
No time no time no time to gaze
The vision fades and leaves a scream
No release from my shortcomings
Tears shower in to my hands
There’s no stops in what I’m becoming
Lies hide in the shadow of words
No time to gaze when I’m running
No time no time no time to gaze
The room is dark the screen is bare
I reconsider my position
I dream of colours for my new scene
Search out ways to repair my condition
Lies hide in the shadow of words
No time to gaze when I’m running
No time no time no time to gaze
We gaze
