"Origin" lyrics

"Origin"

I stare into eternity
Always one step ahead of me
I touch its wake every single day
But it slips from my grip and away

When what was given is gone
A one-way road to oblivion
And as I fight for just one more breath
I awake to the reality (of death)

You wouldn't ever want to try
See through my eyes
You'd break like a child inside
If you ever realized
Through a mirror (out) of time
I see your reflection
In the image (the image) that is me

I won't be around for too long
I too will see oblivion
And as I struggle to hang on
My life will fade until I'm gone

It's my secret number
And everybody wins this one
It's not as if time is on my side
We all drown in the same tide

You wouldn't ever want to try
See through my eyes
You'd break like a child inside
If you ever realized
On an everlasting sea
The tide of evolution goes on
For eternity

I stare into eternity
Always one step ahead of me
I touch its wake every single day
But it slips from my grip and away

It's my secret number
And everybody wins this one
It's not as if time is on my side
We all drown in the same tide

You wouldn't ever want to try
See through my eyes
You'd break like a child inside
If you ever realized
Through a mirror (out) of time
I see your reflection
In the image (the image) that is me

You wouldn't ever want to try
See through my eyes
You'd break like a child inside
If you ever realized
On an everlasting sea
The tide of evolution goes on
For eternity
