Lyrics (unofficial)

[rev. Dec. 22, 2017]

Am I so mistaken
Am I so complacent
Am I here now at all today
I remember the past
I remember how it passed away

Miles later it will all come back to me
I can't wait another lifetime for my destiny

We can flow against the current
We can climb up on the ladder
We manipulate both fate and chance
I remember the past
I remember how it blasted my hands, yeah

So much sooner it shoulda all gone better for me
Such lunatic fringe, I'm on a spree, yeah

Am I so unwilling
Am I worth a shilling
Am I worth losing everything
I remember the past
I remember how it lasted one ring

Oh, we can climb up on the ladder
We can slide down all the adders
I'm a public serpent in an egg
I remember the past
I remember how it made me beg

Miles later it will all come back to me
I can't wait another lifetime for my destiny

(Yeah)
