Empty bedroom and moonlight

And just me with my thoughts

Are we just born to die

Just to turn into dust

There's no cure for loneliness

Everyone fights their own war

Is it kinship or peace that I'm looking for

We try half of our lives

To distract Father Time

As we futily chase after youth

I left every bridge burned

And not one stone unturned

As I look for some semblance of truth

Oh oh oh oh oh

In a world without motivation

I wake up lost every day

Every act one of desperation

The end result is the same

We've all had our mountains to climb

It's what makes us who we are

But living on faith only goes so far

You open your heart

And your world falls apart

And you learn how to live on your knees

One day you're reckless

The next day you're cautious

And twenty years pass in between

Oh oh oh oh oh

I believe in Carpe Diem

But I can't find the time

With dues to pay and a life to make

I can't afford compromise

So many things are out of reach

I'm always falling behind

But I'll never win

If I never try

The man in the mirror says

"How did we get here?

This isn't what I had in mind.

There's another world out there

But you've become so scared

So I'll watch you watch it go by."

Oh oh oh oh oh

Empty bedroom and moonlight

And just me with my thoughts
