Tempt me to vicious dreams
There's nothing left to glean
From these visions
Watching with half-closed lids
The recorder of my life
Shows the happy times of strife
That have risen
Chorus: So I think I'm all alone
Only reaching for the stars
Never trying for the moon
Wrapped up in my cocoon
Like the turning of the tide,
Always changing but the same
Try to keep a simple rein
On each day
How can I keep this face
When behind it lies the truth
And everything has moved
Another way
Chorus
At times I feel my friends
Are all growing around me
They have turned into large trees
And I'm an acorn
Or feel my jagged sides
There's no flow to smooth them over
Sometimes changing, always older
With the storm
Chorus (fade out)
