Stumbling at your feet or caught in defeat
Trapped in your fantasy built from conceit
A clone of your seed but not of your mind
Your cruel authority being unkind

It's a glimpse of your past and a life you never had
And caught in your jealousy you take it all back
So take it all away all the dignity left
Send me away on a carpet of guilt
Escape from mistake you thought it wouldn't last
My mistakes bring back your past
Torn limb from limb and your closest of kin
Your mistakes clear my mind from sin

Stumbling at your feet or caught in defeat
Trapped in your fantasy built from conceit
A clone of your seed but not of your mind
Your cruel authority being unkind

So seduction of my thoughts and taped up shreds
Then ripped to pieces the thoughts are dead
A waste of a mind so highly filled
Replace it with another and everything is cleared
A ripple in the mind is a ripple in time
Everything falls at the end of the line
Traveling through time is a horrible crime
Hold on to what you have and everything is fine

Have you ever met someone and you hoped that it would last
And every time you saw her you said this is your last chance
Have you ever wished for something that you know is right
But just making it happen is such a hard fight
Have you ever seen help needed so you gave it a try
But all she ever said was that you just lie
Have you ever seen something & you thought that it would last
But all he ever said was that she was in the past

So seduction of my thoughts and taped up shreds
Then ripped to pieces the thoughts are dead
A waste of a mind so highly filled
Replace it with another and everything is cleared
A ripple in the mind is a ripple in time
Everything falls at the end of the line
Traveling through time is a horrible crime
Hold on to what you have and everything is fine

An eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth
Revenge takes over there's nothing left to do
A rose for a lover a lover turns to two
Jealousy and anger have stricken you so soon

So have you ever met someone & you hoped that it would last
And every time you saw her you said this is your last chance
Have you ever wished for something that you know is right
But just making it happen is such a hard fight
Have you ever seen help needed so you gave it a try
But all she ever said was that you just lie
Have you ever seen something & you thought that it would last
But all he ever said was that she was in the past
