Orchid Mantis - How Long Will It Take

i've been wasting all my time
don't mind me i'll be just fine
always seem to find a peaceful place

how long will it take to keep from hurting
how long will it take to see for certain
how long will it take

feelings that you cannot put into words
trying to carry on living, leaving on this earth
it may not be enough, but isn't anything
even in all of the worst of things
i know that there is still
a beautiful ring of light
covering everything
it never dies

i will keep chasing what will never come
there is still a light in everything

years shrink beneath me
but we stay the same
there's a place we're all going
but how long will it take
nothing is healing
just tell me how long will it take
