Lyrics
Drifting Conscience Wading in this river of Time. Its pools are deeper than I fathom. So I swim for the bank. I avoid the undertow. I can make it. How'd I get here? One moment ago I was floating away. Now it appears that its my own life I am trying to save. I will face fear and know to hold tightly onto my reins. Caught in a whirlpool of temporal fate While my drifting conscience is drifting away. Almost there, almost there. I can see myself lying on the shore. Almost there, almost there. I can see myself dying in this cold. My mind says to struggle so I pay it repsect. Now treading harder but still no effect. I realize trouble yet I stay unperplexed As I'm pulled faster into Time's depths. Sinking down this river of Time. It's pools are deeper than I fathom. So far from the bank. I'm caught in the undertow. Caught in the under. I'm caught in the undertow. The sky disappears I can see surface though its so far away. The bed is so near I know that it will soon be my grave. I can't face fear I'll go so slow with head down in shame. Repeating of flash bulbs and all of my mistakes While my drifting conscience is drifting away. No! Almost there, almost there. I can see myself lying on the shore. Almost there, almost there. I can see myself dying in this cold. My mind says to struggle so I pay it respect. I'm thrashing harder still no effect. I realize trouble as I feel the cold grip. Sinking ever faster towards my death. Float below this river of Time . It's pools are deeper than I fathom. So where is the bank? I'm held back by undertow. It all becomes clear I loose control as I'm fading away. My ending is here and at this point it is all that I crave. Now I know fear and fold into it's gentle enbrace. Living a nightmare underneath of Time's waves While my drifting conscience is drifting away. Almost there, almost there. I can see myself lying on the shore. Almost there, almost there. I can see myself dying in this cold. My mind says to struggle so I pay it respect. Now treading harder still no effect. I realize trouble for I've lost my courage. As the churning swells replace my sweet breath. I can only wonder what will happen next As my life bubbles to the surface. Music by Steve Klatt Lyrics by Brad Miclette
