lyrics

Every hour is marked by a pitiless chime
In the house occupied by the soldiers of time.
Hear the hum of decay in each echoing room
Every tic weaves another dark thread through death's loom.

But you don't have to live in this cage of the present
Keep dreaming and your future can be incandescent.

Daisy Mclean she said a wise thing:
Every day is a choice between living and dying
But sadly some people, they choose the latter,
And slowly their life will drain of all the things that really matter.
“Keep yourself busy,” said Daisy Mclean
Or let weariness be your daily refrain.


Don't be content with the shadows on the wall
Step outside, see the sunshine or feel the rain fall
If routine keeps you prisoner chaos will free you
Embrace it or fear will never release you

Relinquish your habits you no longer need them
Your imagination will lead you to freedom.

Daisy Mclean she said a wise thing:
Every day is a choice between living and dying
But sadly some people, they choose the latter,
And slowly their life will drain of all the things that really matter.
“Keep yourself busy,” said Daisy Mclean
Or let weariness be your daily refrain.
