Sacred ties would never fray
Then why can I let myself tell lies
And watch you die every day
I think back to the times
When dreams were what mattered
Tough talking youth naivete
You said, you never let me down
Oh, but the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind
Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You've left behind
Paranoid delusions they haunt you
Where's my friend I used to know
He's all alone, he's buried deep within
A carcass searching for a soul
Can you feel me inside your heart
As it's bleeding
Why can't you believe you can be loved
I hear you scream in agony
And the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind
Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You've left behind
You said, you never let me down
Oh, but the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind
Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You've left behind
The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creation colors seem to fade to grey
And you'll see the sickly hands of time
Will write your final rhyme
And end a memory
I never thought you'll let it get
This far, boy
I never thought, I never thought you'll let it get
This far, boy, oh no, oh
I never thought, I never thought you'll let it get
This far, boy, no
I never thought you'll let it get
This far, boy
