Story Behind The Song

the gradual deterioration of the body, the mental faculties, the ever-changing perception of one's surroundings all contributed to this effort.

Song Description

the very idea that everything all boils down to LOVE...good or bad...we all come from the same place and return to it when we're done...it's only a mystery if you want it to be...

Lyrics

[verse I]
my ears are deaf my eyes are blind
I'm right in front but I'm left behind
feels like i'm swimming against the stream

my arms reach out into the dark
my fingers fumbling for their mark
is this for real or just a dream?
or maybe love is to blame

[verse II]
down avenues of restless thought
doors softly closing and I'm caught
the night is slowly drawing in

gone is the freedom I once enjoyed
reduced to life within a void
only a shadow showing where I've been
or maybe love is to blame

[B]
as life slips a w a y
turns from green to gray
the decline starts slow at first
then just a little bit worse every day
heading downward fast
on a one-way path
there's no turning back
from this lonely track that I'm on
now I'm going down hill
against my will
and now I'm on a roll
and time is heading straight in for the kill






[verse III]
and when at last I round the bend
what happens next will all depend
on what is gone & what remains

with nothing left, not even chance
with just a fleeting backward glance
to remind me this was all in vain

or maybe love was to blame
