lyrics

Time stood aside and it derided all the things I thought would change me
And now with a nervous mind, I find I assimilate strangely

Now that I’m leeching my past,
From all that was not meant to last
It makes all the arrangements

Fear that the streets won’t hold you, fade fast when you find they’re indifferent
Dreams of acceptance morph, into some form of its antecedent

When all our childhood fears
They conspire to storm The Bastille
All consumed and irrational

But here at the centre of all things you fear
Are all things you hold dear

So when the doubt set in, I skirted the edge of an old thought
And find myself once again losing patience locating its true source

What if all my mistakes
Were accidents I chose to make
What does that say about me?

I’m not sure I want to know
Not sure it bears repeating
Now as the years start to show
I feel my tolerance fleeting

But here at the centre of all things you fear
Are all things you hold dear
