Vast


Ive followed this road a thousand times
sitll, I ignore the signs
Along the shallow sea I walk
Despite the warnings, I slip and drown
The water is so shallow
but into my lungs the water I swallow

Life flashes by like a bullet
the lives I have touched
the lives I have taken
this life I have forsaken
I said good bye long before the lid closed
lights out, good night

This shallow sea of memories
is too vast to see the other side
to wade out to far is certain suicide
yet on I go
I must see that distant shore

Life flashes by like a bullet
the lives I have touched
the lives I have taken
this life I have forsaken
I said good bye long before the lid closed
lights out, good night

the lives I have taken
those stories that I ended
live on in this vast sea of memories

Life flashes by like a bullet
the lives I have touched
the lives I have taken
this life I have forsaken
I said good bye long before the lid closed
lights out, good night
