Design Your Universe

Declining, all color fading
       Defining, time coming for me
       Rescinding, my inspiration
 	Receding consciousness
	(Set me free!)


	Back in the day, I can recall that
	My thoughts were unclouded and sage
	There was no black staining the walls of my memories
	Now there's a haze pushing me sideways
	And leaving me nothing to gain
	Taking me back, locking me cold in disparity


	Where was I meant to be?
	I feel I'm lost in a dream
	Long for the day I can be myself


	When I'm free
	When my sun has set
	Released my soul forever
	I'll have no regret
	To be free
	I'll exist again
	No more lost endeavors
	Nothing to contend
	When I'm free


	Color declines, all that defines me
	Is falling away, far behind
	Nothing to keep me with the time, the here and now


	Where am I meant to be?
	I feel I'm lost in a dream
	Yearning again only to be myself


	When I'm free
	When my sun has set
	Released my soul forever
	I'll have no regret
	To be free
	I'll exist again
       No more lost endeavors
	Nothing to contend
	When I'm free


	(Cure me, free me, help me, see me)
	(No more worry, no more losing)
	(Save me, near me, help me, hear me)
	(No more heartache, no misery)
	(Cure me, free me, help me, see me)
	(No more worry, no agony)
	(Save me, near me, help me, hear me)
	(No more heartache, no despairing)
	(We despair)
	(Cure me, free me, help me, see me)
	(No more worry, no repairing)
	(No repair)


	Time is just a concept
	And always the first thing to fade
	Agony and weakness
	Nothing we can never evade
	Years are cruel, they break us
	Bringing on decay and despair
	Awareness and perception
	Something we can never repair


	Freedom for me is all I'm really wanting, needing
	Give me power to break out
	I can't hold on for any longer
	My time has come to end it all


	No one to blame, fate's only random
	It's nothing we'll ever explain
	So it remains


	Where was I meant to be?
	I feel I'm lost in a dream
	Long for the day I can be myself
	Free


	When will I be unleashed?
	It's not the way it should be
	Yearning again only to be myself
	When I'm free


      Unleash my consciousness)


	When my sun has set
	Released my soul forever
	I'll have no regret
	To be free
	I'll exist again
	No more lost endeavors
       Nothing to contend
       When I'm free
