lyrics

I'm taking all my time again on the things that never were
It's tearing my heart out to the sun
I'm playing all my games again, and I'm losing every time
The games that I play must come to an end

I'm really not one to waste my time waiting for truth
But even so I know this I must do for you

The times that I was waiting for are a memory in the past
The people there were only waiting around
Waiting for the door to open and let them rush on out
How will I live now that I am found?

I'm really not one to watch the clock all afternoon
But even so I know this I must do for you

My mind is not a tool if i can't use it how I want
The world's not just one big arcade
You are not what I needed, only what I really want
The rules are not written in the sun

I'm really not one to touch the sky to feel the blue
But even so I know this I must do for you

The music is a place to go, not a doorway to the stars
The mind cannot reach so very far
My eyes are not a way to see, but a glimpse into the night
They change the colors to keep me alive

I'm really not one to stop the train when the danger is through
But even so I know this I must do for you

I'm really not one to waste my time waiting for truth
But even so I know this I must do for you
