Alarms were ringing all around
But I never stopped to hit the ground
Came up rising, fists a'flying
Trying to live my whole life down
With nothing more, there's nothing left
Now we won't be guarding innocence
Slowly fading, years cascading
Swaying to the same old sounds
chorus
Illusions came from every side
But we never stopped to wonder why
Visions fleeting, all receding
Meeting where they can't survive
Dead and then alive
All lost before they're found
Waiting for our time to come around
