lyrics

Verse 1
Once again the future is beginning to fade
Another lonely future appears
All this time I watch my family slipping away
and this time it's ticking 200 years
Sometimes I think it's all in my mind
But I can't be the only one
Who’ll die trying to reconcile
all of the automatic weapons
everybody becomes

 Chorus
Have I done everything I can
Are all these gears and gauges
part of a bigger plan
Or am I more machine than man

 Verse 2
I try and tell myself
it's me who gets to decide
to run around the rules that were set
But in the end all that's ever waiting for me
Is a predetermined pain and regret
Nobody wants to watch the love of their life
Begging angels to back away
Shadowboxing in the setting sunlight
quickly turns a predator prey
so I ask you...

Repeat chorus

 Verse 3
I really wanna try and steady the ship
I’d like to make a name for myself
But this collision course was set in motion
long ago by somebody else...
so I say again... 

Repeat chorus
