She lived there like it was forever
And one day, came realisation
Wait! Wait for me! Oh, I'm lost!
In this haven. It's fading away from me
Stay! You said you would stay with me; seems like a haze of empty promises
The light's going out, it's pulling me away
So, why does my soul remain?
I hear a call from the end
It's near. It's reaching for me
They all seemed so real to me
The visions and fantasies
Oh! how they crumble away
Ooh and time goes by, I feel it
Lifting this veil of ashes and sweetness
Am I just asleep?
Creating this dream
I'm paralysed. I'm stuck inside
But how can I leave this perfect world behind?
The colours, they all start to bleed oh and now I see
I feel. A thought. A wish. A dream
A pounding to wake from this sleep
They all seemed so real to me The visions and fantasies
I'm watching them crumble away
Ooh and time goes by, I feel it Lifting this veil oh!
Breaking away from me
I'm free as my soul can be
Drifting alone to the day
Ooh and time goes by, I feel it
Lifting this veil of ashes and sweetness
