Yeah, truth is stark and leaves its mark
Or cast an earnest eye
'Cause when death comes, it's swift
Accepting what the future may bring
No one seems to hesitate
With sense or sanity anymore
Of anything anymore
And the litany is long as the confidence is strong
It seems like a lifetime of scrutiny
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
A lifetime of scrutiny
Yeah, judgment comes in many forms
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Shattered hopes and stolen dreams
And the most difficult part is
And it seems as though I can't remember
Prejudicial waters wash over me
And, my friend, we end up all the same
A lifetime of scrutiny
A lifetime of scrutiny
Years go flying by
And no one left to blame
This pointless mortal game?
Oh, it seems like a lifetime of scrutiny
It seems like a lifetime of scrutiny
Faces and the names
But never scares or shy
Yeah, is it possible to win
In their delight
There and back I never wait
Wither the path, whether worth the fee
For a confident reply
And the words just don't equate
And it seems as though I can't be sure
Wither the path and whether worth the fee
As limited constraints
