Delayed Songtext
von Derev

A picture grey and old
You′ve taken
And etched into your soul
A distant void between
The mind
And a canvas you unfold
All this time that's passed
You′ve waited
To smell the paint you sought
To feel a touch of stroke
Until
You open your eyes, behold
It was all laid in front of you
Behold
It was all laid in front of you
Serenity
You've saved for tomorrow
Will never come to pass
It's been too long since
Days wasted


Taking in this life
It was all laid in front of you
This life
It was all laid in front of you
Waiting for the day
When everything′s your way
Grips like a burden and it′s kept you
Delayed
All too late
Gone beyond your days
The promise of fate was wasted on you
Years gone by
Time slips through your mind
No traces to reminisce
Try to justify
Why you're stagnant
Discarding the truth you know
The self doubt just took control
Dismissing what you desired the most
Gave in to hardship, you let it grow
Rejecting the life you longed for
Don′t pin this on a power beyond what you control,
Your call
The sooner you face the truth
The failures you incurred to try to
Find
The moment is gone
You didn't
Try
Your moment is gone
The wait for the day
When everything′s your way
Won't soon end before you′re
Delayed
And all too late
Don't let it go to waste
I promise that fate holds nothing on you
