When the World Is Caving In
All we got in life is time
Too many people spending mine
Played the game a bit too long
Lost my sense of right and wrong
I've hit the ground running
Tried to reinvent the wheel
Even climbed the highest mountain
To find the truth it would reveal
Will I ever reach the river
To wash away my sin
Will I ever see a new beginning
When my little world is caving in
Is caving in
All we got in life is time
Too many people spending mine
Played the game a bit too long
Lost my sense of right and wrong
Battle worn I soldiered on
Made it past the walls of stone
Dodged the bullets with shields of hope
Still burned by my heavy load
Will I ever reach the river
To wash away my sin
Will I ever see a new beginning
When my little world is caving in
Is caving in
Restless me, restless you
With everyone against us and
Everything to prove
Damaged me, damaged us
Flat broke and broken in the dust
Here I am, a one-man band
Flying or falling, where will I land?
The thing called love is out of reach
The harder I search, the less I see
Will I ever reach the river
To wash away my sin
Will I ever see a new beginning
When my little world is caving in
Is caving in
Was tempted by the siren's song
That drove me off, pulled me down
Surrendered to that place below
How could I sink so low?
Trudged along winding roads
Lined with the oldest oak
The wind as my trusted guide
Drew me from a sheltered life
All we got in life is time
Too many people spending mine
Played the game a bit too long
Lost my sense of right and wrong
In search for truth I've lost my youth
From neon bright to faded grey
I am knocking at the gates of hell
Why can't I unring the bell?
Will I ever reach the river?
To wash away my sin
Will I ever see a new beginning?
When my little world is caving in
When your little world is caving in
