Rottin' Apple

Hey, tired man, I see you walk alone
 The wrinkles on you face, a map of all your pain
 Your expression becomes an open book of time
 Filled with pages of forgotten hopes
 Good intentions, regret, disillusion with life
 Animosity, unbridled purity
 All these things that I swear I see
 And your eyes tell me all you could never be
 So many times I've stared to the eyes
 Of the young, the old, the lonely and the wise
 Just to find a glimpse of all I have not seen
 Just to find some peace for my jaded made
 Don't wanna live my life by the second hand
 Of a clock that's long since past me by
 You say I've got to stay in line
 We'll your line is going nowhere and so are you
 Choices, decisions made, smokin' away the pain inside
 Sit back and watch it all go by
 We could never find the peace of mind we need
 We hid it all away for another day
 Sit back, everything's gonna be alright
 Rivers of pain map your agin' skin
 Your expression, a journal of where you've been
 All your dreams and your chances lost
 You walk along that dotted line
 Do you remember a time when you used to dream?
 Do you remember a time when you used to live?
 All your dreams and chances they're all gone
 So you gave it all away
 Unable to say all you wanna say
 Look at you now, turned out to be face of misery
 Look at you now, a rotting apple's all I see
