Lying on the flood, the world carries on Life does not wait for me Trying to pretend that I was Everything you believed Drowning in my own desire All your needs fail to inspire Miles of vacant years run through my mind Like headlights through the night And oceans have their ways Of getting between what I feel should be Drowning in my own desire All your needs fail to inspire It's not over, it's not crashing down What's the game, what's the prize? And one moment of belief Disturbs the quiet dream for you When poetic moments Aren't all they seem Then reality becomes The dream Drowning in my own desire All your needs fail to inspire
