Lyrics

Anticipate

What did you plan? What did you anticipate? All you demand to find Spiraling down, falling behind No tomorrow When you're ahead of your time What did you want to know? How does it end? How does it go? From the bottom I fled But the stars overhead Let me wake from the ruin I must say that I was a wreck Hit the bottom I guess But the words you once said Let me wake from the ruin Second sight up ahead I couldn't withstand I couldn't anticipate How low I would go What did I miss? I didn't know, I didn't know Now what do you anticipate? Another catastrophe Coming around, following me From the bottom I fled But the stars overhead Let me wake from the ruin I must say that I was a wreck Hit the bottom I guess But the words you once said Let me wake from the ruin Second sight up ahead
