Water Confines

I've always done
What's right for me
I never asked
For sympathy, compassion
I've always offered
What it takes
To fit the frame
My mirror makes

I always thought
I had the key
To be the man
I wanna be
But now I know
I'll never find
The man I made up
In my mind

Falling, I'm falling
I'm one step behind

My dream was my way
So precious, so plain
A lifetime in vain
The tide is on time
And water confines
The dream of my life

May be my versatility
Absorbed all common
Sense in me
I thought the word
Was mine to keep
By dint of my authority

I swear I'd perish
At the stake
To pay the price
For my mistakes
But now my time is
Running low
I've lived on visions
Far too long

Falling, I'm falling
I'm one step behind

My dream was my way
So precious, so plain
A lifetime in vain
The tide is on time
And water confines
The dream of my life

Hope my misery
Doesn't show
Shady memories
Won't let go

Sometimes when
The crazy thunder
Roams my head
I can only pray
That somehow
My dream's to blame

My dream was my way
So precious, so plain
A lifetime in vain
The tide is on time
And water confines
The dream of my life

My dream was my way
So precious, so plain
A lifetime in vain
The tide is on time
And water confines
The dream of my life
