The path I have chosen
Pursuing a light out of reach
Responsibilities frozen
Empty words I have preached
Illusions I preserve
To continue in this world
Set the stage to speak the page
But the thorn in my side turns

Strive to be
Even through adversity
Obstacles I have to climb
Searching for the balance of time

Guilt when I'm away
Guilt when I'm home
What's desired, unreal
The life of those who roam
Dedication, sacrifice
It's all taking its toll
It's not what it used to be
Have to justify this road

Strive to be
Even through adversity
Obstacles I have to climb
Searching for the balance of time

Balance of time
I'm losing my mind
Unable to breathe
The world I cannot leave

Balance of time

Strive to be
Even through adversity
Obstacles I have to climb
Searching for the balance of time
