Persistence of Imagination Lyrics


Life is not as it seems, imagination so unreal

Don't let it carry you away

Making up life as you go, not sure of your path

Not knowing if it can be changed

You . . . The victim of your own mind

With . . . The passing of time

It changes every day

Now . . . The future is so far

Ask . . . Who you are

It's hard for even you to say

Dreams are interfering, with reality

You're never sure which to believe

You're scared to tread new ground, you can't relive the past

Indecision ruling your life

Why . . . Must you be caught

Seek . . . What you have sought

For what seems like eternity

Search . . . For an easy way

With . . . Each passing day

To lift this burden from your life

Your saddened by the past, if only your dreams could last

Changing your life to make it fit

Looking to find your place, wherever it may be

Just hoping to find some happiness

Imagination continues, contorting images in your mind

Blind to your problems for all to see

Dreams rule the lifetime, so short - so long it seems

The fear sometimes scares you away

Look . . . Now don't ask why

You . . . You might be able to find

Be careful what you wish

See . . . Your dreams come true

Love . . . Of the new

It might not be what you hoped it would be

As the tears roll down your face, you contemplate life this race

How soon will it end?

The solutions not within reach, you pray for never-ending peace

Only in death will it be

Death will it be, death will it be, death will it be

Time displaces many things, memories seem so real

Our objective views

No one can change the facts, they're locked safely away

We know the truth from experience

On . . . On the run in our minds

Race . . . With the times

Over and over

Lost . . . Track of the days

Times . . . Unfriendly ways

Company only to yourself

Chorus
