Time flows, nobody knows

Where we go
F#aug
Alone from here

My eyes deceive

What is wrong
F#aug
With me?
Gm Cm Gm
Deep in the night you think everything's right
F
Tell it to yourself
Say it's just a nightmare
D#
Something is telling you
F#aug
Nothing can change where you are, again
Gm Cm Gm
Why should it matter, your dreams of a child?
F
Innocence is gone
Only fear to play with

Faces are changing
F#aug
But nothing is changing the pain
Too late

Visions are lying and reasons just live to survive
This time

The cold (the cold). The light (the light).
Gm7 Gm F Gm
The fear (the fear) returning
Gm Gm7 Gm Gm7 Gm
It's not (it's not) the eyes (the eyes)
Gm7 Gm F Gm
You feel (you feel) that's chilling you
