Timeline

(The idea of reincarnation comes from a natural sense that there is more in this world than we can taste or touch. Unfortunately this is the main point, time. You think of time as if it were a straight line, like a road or a train track, with the past at one end and the future at the other. The metaphor is seductive, but it's highly misleading. The world was flat until we discovered it was round)

I am in this maze
And everywhere I face
The walls are staring back at me, hey
A road beyond the far
Transcending passed the stars
Unending through the dark above

So, while you're waiting
For the wheel to come around

Lost in time and space
Existence left no trace
Yet I'm aware and on my way
A fractured state of mind
An instant trapped in time
The shadow half of life deranged

So, while you're waiting
For the wheel to come around
Smile to your maker
She's somewhere, she's around

I gotta run to live, I wanna be alive
I have a reason now, I wanna be alive
I gotta run to live, I wanna be alive
I have a reason now, I wanna be alive

(I used to think that time was linear, like a string. But maybe time isn't that way. Maybe each moment lasts forever and its only our perception that strings them together. Any time you want)

If I should ever find
A way I still don't know
If I could trade my life away
Yet should I stay behind
Then you will never know
Of all the wonders I have seen

So, while you're waiting
For the wheel to come around
Smile to your maker
She's somewhere, she's around

I gotta run to live, I wanna be alive
I have a reason now, I wanna be alive
I gotta run to live, I wanna be alive
I have a reason now, I wanna be alive
