A Fleeting Glance

[Verse 1]

Up until recently I've been alone

Leading a tranquil life but never at home

Something had changed and I turned to the wind

That blew through me and told me, "How long? How long?"

[Verse 2]

Silenced the voice of my heart now for years

I was perplexed by a fleeting blank stare

Biding my time until courage had built up inside me

Then came clean, "Or am I wrong"

[Verse 3]

I spend all my nights contemplating my will

For the weak shall inherit the earth when it's still

A government bid for my life

I was sold as a cog in a machine, "I walk the line"

[Bridge]

A fleeting glance again tells me everything

Took a chance in vain, drawn to a futile idea

A pursuit of happiness as the storm rolls in

An idol of helplessness, paved the way and then gave in

[Verse 4]

I met with my mother and I asked her why

For ten years so more she would never reply

Suddenly she said we're all born to die

Gave me purpose, freed me, "How simple it can be"

[Chorus]

But it's fading away from my mind

There's another "me" waiting behind

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

But it's fading away from my mind

There's another "me" waiting behind
