The end is near, so I'll head back to the beginning 
 I'll try again to succeed in erasing all my sinning 
 Gently nurturing time in my disgruntled hands 
 "Reap the harvest, bleed the land" 
 This is the only truth I know... 
 This is the only truth I know... 
    Slaving at this machine for what must have been years 
 "Keep in mind that things... things aren't always as they appear" 
 And dear, now time has come for me to finally trace 
 Exactly why I built this forsaken machine in the first place   
 We all pray and wish that... that time would stand completely still 
 Just long enough to ingest the memories and relive the thrill 
 So I did just that, and now I'm ready to deliver myself 
 Ready to venture back to the mistakes that define us   
 We have to ask ourselves, if we could leave today to change the past 
 Would it really be the key to find our lost happiness? 
 Go back and somehow alter what sent us all on our downward spirals 
 (2x)   
 And although darkness reigns, for an uncertain amount of days 
 Living in yesterday won't get you any closer to a better tomorrow 
 It takes self-control and countless nights to relieve one's self of pain 
 To relieve oneself of pain and sorrow 
 It doesn't take a time-machine to make the earth stop turning 
 Just true love, real love 
 But until then I guess we'll just keep learning 
 If only those hands would turn right and not left 
 "But who cares about timing when we have forever... "   
 We have to ask ourselves, if we could leave today to change the past 
 Would it really be the key to find our lost happiness? 
 Go back and somehow alter what sent us all on our downward spirals
