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 headlight 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
