Or So I've Been Told

I knew it all ten years ago
But I've lost some ground since then
If I'm on this path ten years from now
Then I might as well be dead

Searched far and wide for what's important
But I haven't found it yet
Spent all this time just closing doors I
I know nothing but regret

[chorus:]
I've been here too long, or so I've been told
My timing is wrong or, so I've been told
My vision is gone or, so I've been told
It's leaving me cold

Is happiness imaginary
Upon this frozen lake
And if I chose this incarnation
Did I make a grave mistake

And if I drown below the ice now
Well I wouldn't really mind
I'm willing to be sacrificed now
I'm running out of time

[chorus]
