hold that thought......

[capturedintime]

you think its time for change
and begin walking away
right then you confidence fades
and you're afraid where you might remain
you say you'll change but you still remain

it stings; the truth when it rings
and resounds within your mind
like a million little flys
and only when you sleep do they sleep
staying in bed all day for peace

and time; time is changing pace
as dreams come and slip away
you thought you had it just the other day
i think i forgot my place

and the puzzle's lost its purpose anyway
we've come so far but so far astray the picture its one big fake
we are bullets in a gun
we've been loaded and spun
as they take us in their holsters to war fighting other loaded pawns

corrupt kings. do they see the truth when they sleep.
and a dream has him where innocent convicted men would be
at the top of his lungs
its not me.
in a sweat he awakes as they release the guillotine.
in a sweat he awakes in his bed.

this time; he was not who he had been

...the rise and fall
