Desire - Fates Warning

Lying on the floor, the world carries on

Life does not wait for me

Trying to pretend that I was

Everything you believed

Drowning in my own desire

All your needs fail to inspire

Miles of vacant years run through my mind

Like headlights through the night

And oceans have their ways

Of getting between what I feel should be

Drowning in my own desire

All your needs fail to inspire

It’s not over, it’s not crashing down

What’s the game, what’s the prize?

And one moment of belief

Disturbs the quiet dream for you

When poetic moments

Aren’t all they seem

Then reality becomes

The dream

Drowning in my own desire

All your needs fail to inspire
