I try to remember what it's like
to dream with my own eyes
with my own eyes.
Because I keep forgetting what is right;
can't tell truth from lies
sunset from rise...

If I could learn
to act patiently
then I would see
that my view of time
is selfishly
based around me...

I should run away,
but I can't;
chasing dreams that are slowing down for me.
I should turn around,
but I can't.
It's within my reach;
runaway...
It's within my reach

With rising valleys and sinking
peaks,
nothing in between
that I can see.
It seems my pride is on repeat;
oh how they need me
it's not me they need.

If I could learn
to act patiently
then I would see
that my view of time
is selfishly
based around me...

I should run away,
but I can't;
chasing dreams that are slowing down for me.
I should turn around,
but I can't.
It's within my reach;
runaway...
It's within my reach

If I could learn
to act patiently
then I would see
that my view of time
is selfishly
based around me...

I should run away,
but I can't;
chasing dreams that are slowing down for me.
I should turn around,
but I can't.
It's within my reach;
runaway...
It's within my reach
