Lyrics
I hear the Reaper knock
I hear him every time i stop
To think about the repercussions of -
Trying to turn back the clock
It's been commissioned by a conscience that's -
Guilt ridden and given to lapses in concentration
A cul-de-sac, enter..............
Dead end only days
Turning tides
Future subsides
In a personal pyre
Out on the highest wire
Years speed by, faster than the mind
And now, time is not on my side
This hedonist is on the chopping block
I dream of foreboding tooth loss
The wretched friction of a paradox
And playing away, when you're home is unlocked
Been running through the red's
Burning down candles and ditching the med's
Because you're easily led
And, boy you're gonna pay
Turning tides
Future subsides
In a personal pyre
Out on the highest wire
Years speed by, faster than the mind
And now, time is not on my side
Side to side i live with my alter ego - my hero
Through the portal, this mortal uncoils into thin air
A denizen of fear
And i'm wondering what's in store
This time it's loud and clear....
Knock, knock, knocking at the door
Turning tides
Future subsides
It's a personal pyre
Out on the highest of wires
Years speed by, faster than the mind
And now time is not, time is not on my side
