Chasing the Sunrise

 

reaching for tomorrow

and the dreams of yesterday

hoping that I’ll find them

in my mixed up drunken haze

looking to the future

and the paradise to come

looking for tomorrow

but tomorrow never comes

no, tomorrow never comes

 

longing for the sunrise

and the changes I will make

swearing to my Savior

I will never be the same

tomorrow I will find them

my dreams of happiness

tomorrow I will hold them

in a state of joyous bliss

 

now is not the time

no, now is not the time

now is not the time

no, now is not the time

 

searching for the answers

to help my troubled soul

crying as time passes

cuz I’m growin’ gray and old

If only time moved faster

and youth forever reigned

I’d make it to the ending

of my sick and twisted play

 

now is not the time

no, now is not the time

now is not the time

no, now is not the time

 

running to the garden

and the blossoms far away

thinking I might reach them

If I had another day

spinning in this circle

disillusioned, I grow weak

creeping madness follows

cuz I’m losin’ what I seek

 

now is not the time

no, now is not the time

now is not the time

no, now is not the time

 

dying in this prison

alone I weep and grieve

surrounded by the feelings

of raped and shattered dreams

writhing in my sorrow

I begin to pass away

I never found tomorrow

cuz tomorrow was today

tomorrow was today

tomorrow was today
