seven years wash up behind me
and i'm wondering what the time is
its a question of perception
and i dont want you with hurt
there's an old man in the corner
in his sunk and withered features
see refl
i've been looking for the questions
to the answers i've been fed
a banquet of lies
digested with a smile
i'm a captive in a hole
i'm gracious in defeat

found my resolve
to stick to my ground
