Opposition Lyrics

The bell tolls and i begin to wonder why 
It is the hour hand that prevails
My life lead by the speed of the minute 
As i watch seconds pass before me
And the hours of others trailing behind 
Bound by a time too short to allow myself to live 
To live free of it

I am without shelter
Without control
Defenseless
In both the world around me and in my head

The bell tolls and i begin to wonder why 
It is the hour hand that always prevails
Not until my lungs collapse will i be free 
To escape the confines of frailty
My legs unable to carry me 
As the thoughts race through
My breath unable to stay 
As i must face the sun alone

Not until my lungs collapse will i be free 
To escape this frailty that has confined me
 
I am without shelter
Without control
Defenseless 
In both the world around me and in my head
