Fleeting Instant

Fleeting Instant - Delerium Lyrics

I wake up

put on my face

identify

with the human race

I go to sleep

take off my face

somehow the light

can't keep up the pace

don't be so hard

on yourself

you've got so much

to pull off the shelf

pack it away

then pack it in

life is too short

the air's getting thin





the dying moon compels the arrogant seas

the deathless 'me of me' caught up in the tease

you still inspire me though you hurt and deceive

and if you hear me now, awake in your sleep







hallelujah, hallelujah







i go to sleep



take off my face



eyes open to the darkness



identify...







the dying moon compels the arrogant seas



a fleeting instant i was led to believe



that what you give, so shall you receive



and if you hear me now, awake!
