Lyrics to "Pages"
The pages of my life are turning fast
The paper's crumpled and thinning
Sometimes I want to erase the past
But my history is winning
Time's begun to ease the pain
Like ocean foam leaves seaglass
The jagged edge of memories
Of choices once made in the past
I'm not the first one that time's made cry
And I will not be the last
As I wait for the world's reply
To the questions I couldn't ask
I read the chapters about my thirst
That urged me on when I was younger
Re-living every word of every verse
As I search my inner hunger
All the times of holding back
Reading lines I was given
A dusty corner with books I'd stacked
Hiding a soul so badly driven
