i thought there was a place
 
 where stars shone bright with grace
 
 and rain fell slow to time
 
 as wind dispersed its seed
 
 and now I learn I can't revive the past I've lost
 
 and I shall pay the cost
 
 disuaded by the state that traps my mind in place
 
  
  delay
  
 
 there is always time
 
 but how much will i be calling mine today
 
 i will search to find
 
 a chance that else may only bring delay
 
 i'll repeat the line
 
 replace the marks insisting that I stay
 
 towards the sun that blinds my way
 
 delay
 
 i can see now you're lost inside the trap that holds you down
 
 the safety of your net creates a yearning to regress
 
 on back receding towards a tiny place that holds you close
 
 to feel the dark it makes within your yearning to embrace
 
 the fear that grows inside keeps churning every day
 
 as the world surrounds and moves to block your way
 
 and now you're holding back the things that you regret
 
 but reaching towards the sky brings more than you could bet
  
 
 delay
  
 
 there is always time
 
 but how much will i be calling mine today
 
 i will search to find
 
 a chance that else may only bring delay
 
 i'll repeat the line
 
 replace the marks insisting that I stay
 
 towards the sun that blinds my way
