Time slowly fades as I react in the moment
Chronology embellishes me
Minutes turn to hours, hours to days
And then the sun escapes from me
Oh how could this be?
The only guiding light I had around to see
Now the shadows bind to me

Flawed by design
An unavoidable trait of our kind
We're bound to create these mistakes and reflect in memories

I know you look back on your life and hours spent
And recollect on all the things you could've done different

These things we'll never know until we view them with our eyes
Change is the only constant we can safely assure in our lives
As it arrives you will be wondering why

Only then is it apparent
Please embrace the knowledge of what we've learned
The trials you have past inherited; learn from them

What is the light without the dark inside
To experience these hollow nights
To make us feel alive in the brighter times?

Sometimes I look back on my life and all the hours spent
And reflect on all the things I could've done differently

I know you look back on your life and hours spent
And recollect on all the things you could've done different

Flawed by design

We're bound to create these mistakes and reflect in memories
