about

I dreamt I could travel back in time in a time machine to warn myself of my troubles to come. But when I reached my young self, I knew I would never want to miss all the misery ahead of me.

lyrics

There's no need for conversation,
there's no need for anything at all.
The time has passed for Promises,
the time has passed for rolling with the ball.

A house of lies on grains of sand
is all that holds the elements at bay.
I'm not allowed to intrude upon you
I've no advice to give, nothing to say.

Cause it's your life...

I really want to help you out
I really want to pull you out of there.
Take you to a better place
a bullshit free and peaceful life somewhere.

I won't attempt to save you,
I won't attempt to drag you from your fate.
I only hope you call on me
before you sink to deep and it's too late.

Cause it's your life.
