I wish you could know
I wish you could see
I wish I could show you
What it was to be
Alive before we knew the world that you now see

As we endure
What is [bad word] 
Please know I'm sorry
For all that we have done

Time won't wait
As we dissolve
Giving in to our fate
That won't absolve
The lies we told ourselves
To minimize the pain
Our denial of the [bad word] 
Leaves us with the blame

I wanted so much more
I wanted everything
Now what can we show for
All we used to be
We are too far from the shore
Drowning in debris

As we endure what is [bad word] 
Please know I'm sorry
For all that we have done

Time won't wait
As we dissolve
Giving in to our fate
That won't absolve
The lies we told ourselves
To minimize the pain
Our denial of the [bad word] 
Leaves us with the blame

Time won't wait
As we dissolve
Giving in to our fate
That won't absolve
The lies we told ourselves
To minimize the pain
Our denial of the [bad word] 
Leaves us with the blame
