Obligations whir around me
my universe begins to spin
so tired of playing catch up
I'm thinking now of giving in
time is racing forward
and I am standing still
until I'm dragged along behind
forever against my will
CHORUS
but through it all
just this one thing remains
throughout the storm
through all the tears and the pain
I endure
time moves on and
I endure
V2
I cast away my burdens
but they keep falling back on me
crushing the strength of mind
I need to guard my sanity
I'm always searching for
the thing I'll never find
a way to break the shackles of
the tyranny of time
CHORUS
BRIDGE
the world explodes around me
my mind collapses within
I close my eyes and hope
they'll never open again
sometimes I think I can't go on
I often wish I won't
and now I pray to not go on
but time
moves on
EXTENDED CHORUS
and through it all
just this one thing remains
throughout the storm
through all the tears and the pain
I endure
yes this one thing remains
I endure
through all the tears and the pain
I endure
time moves on and
I endure
