Lyrics

VERSE 1
Time flies - a relative conception
When circumstance defines the perception
Minutes feel like hours, hours like days
Days feel like forever. Morph into yesterdays
The second hand ticks like a ticks like a siren
It’s taking too long (spoken)

CHORUS
Burnout. Start of the breakdown
I don’t understand. You’ve changed
Disappeared. I can’t reach you
Lost in the desert of your soul

VERSE 2
You don’t sleep. You don’t eat
Once so full of life. Carefree and open
Shadow of yourself. Unsure about everything
Stay afloat in a stormy sea
Sinking. Too much responsibility
Tormented by conflict (spoken)

BRIDGE
Sitting alone in the twilight
Embers of the fire light the room
The clock on the wall loudly ticking
Shadows dancing in the gloom
Until time stands still (spoken)

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE 3
Come back - gotta be more than this
You’ve had your fingers burned. Take the risk
Fill the glass. Let it run over
Metaphorical four leaf clover
You can do anything you want to
Believe. You can do anything (spoken)

CHORUS/OUTRO
Burnout. Start of the breakdown
I don’t understand. You’ve changed
Disappeared. I can’t reach you
Lost in the desert of your soul
Lost in the desert of your soul
Lost in the desert of your soul
