INTRO:  :22
Wonder if my life has a purpose,
runnin' around in merciless circles.
Give a taste of a gift that is stirring
down in a pit that is vacant and churning.
Time and space are hungrily feeding, 
biting my heels and preying on my feelings.   :48
Pre-Ch :49
Got a monster closin' in
can't escape it, I know I'll never win.
Race I'm runnin' is almost done,
fate is tastin' my failures on it's tongue.   1:06 
Ch 1:07
Time consumes and I’m the food,
there’s not a lot I can do about it.
Every day a dream's denied, 
fate comes around and takes another bite.   1:23
V1 1:24
Look around for a faceless villain
to take all the blame for my daily prison.
Bubbles are bursting and make things clearer:
plain to see it's my face in the mirror.   1:43
BREAK: (:34)
Ch 2:17
Time consumes and I’m the food,
there’s not a lot I can do about it.
Every day a dream's denied, 
fate comes around and takes another bite.   2:34
Interlude: 2:36
Time is a knife, every day I’m sliced.
Wastin’ my life, as fate bites.   2:43
BREAK: (:19)
Ch 3:02 
Time consumes and I’m the food,
there’s not a lot I can do about it.
Every day a dream's denied, 
fate comes around and takes another bite.   3:19
V2 3:20
Dreams can be conflicting illusions:
coating of candy mixed in confusion.
Quenching my thirst in useless endeavors, 
I guess that I'm cursed and it haunts me forever... .   3:42
