Turn of the Century - Illusions of the Greater Picture Lyrics

I keep thinking of myself above and looking down
And I don't like what I see
Feels like an ocean with grains of sand
'Bout as big as you and me

And then I realized
Why we all had seemed so small

Can't keep my eyes off the second hand
Regret the time that's passed
I came to hate that metronome
'Cause it's time that wouldn't last

And then I realized
I can never make time stall
And then I realized
That death would never fall

So, as we all keep marching on
Raging battles of our own device
Fighting paradise
And, although every soldier dies
There's a part of us that knows we'll fight
You'll be alright

And then I realized
That although it may appall
And then I realized
We can stand against this call

And then I realized
(Why we all had seemed so small)
And then I realized
(I can never make time stall)

But, keep your head up and see
Everything's gonna be all right
And then I realized
But, keep your head up and see
Everything gonna be all right
I can look death in the eyes
