Chiasm – Delay lyrics

I thought there was a place
Where stars shone bright with grace
And rain fell slow to time
As wind dispersed its seed
And now I learn I can't revive the past I've lost
And I shall pay the cost
Disuaded by the state that traps my mind in place

Delay

There is always time
But how much will I be calling mine today
I will search to find
A chance that else may only bring delay
I'll repeat the line
Replace the marks insisting that I stay
Towards the sun that blinds my way

Delay

I can see now you're lost
Inside the trap that holds you down
The safety of your net creates a yearning to regress
On back receding towards a tiny place that holds you close
To feel the dark it makes within your yearning to embrace
The fear that grows inside keeps churning every day
As the world surrounds and moves to block your way
And now you're holding back the things that you regret
But reaching towards the sky brings more than you could bet
