Hippocampus - A Novel Time Lyrics

Every breath I take is as fresh as the last
But the last breath I took was soiled and black
And I can't explain the feelings that course through my veins
When I think of all the agony it drives me insane
But we press on or move on, call it what you will
Until the beating of your heart slowly goes still
Try to forget all the arrogance and strife
But it plagues you everyday of your life

Fall into line --- Speak when spoken to
Dream about a better day when I could've followed through

In a twist of irony and mindless spontaneity
I packed up my bags, now I cry all too frequently
Worthless, Shameless and a total disgrace
Looking in the mirror, ashamed of the ghostly face
That's staring back at me, Looks like me
Or perhaps a person I was in a forgotten day
Fallen a victim of ignorance and strife
All smiles on the outside, decay on the inside

Fall into line --- Speak when spoken to
Dream about a better day when I could've followed through

Dream of the days when I could've followed through
