You and I together in our lives,
Sacred ties would never fray
Then why can I let myself tell lies
And watch you die every day
I think back to the times when dreams were what mattered
Tough talking youth naivete
You said you'd never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation
CHORUS
Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind
Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself when you think of what you left behind
Paranoid delusions they haunt you
Where's my friend I used to know
He's all alone.
He's buried deep within a carcass searching for a soul
Can you feel me inside your heart as it's bleeding
Why can't you believe you can be loved
I hear you scream in agony
And the horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation
CHORUS
You said you never let me down
But the horse stampedes, it rages in the name of desperation
CHORUS
The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creation's colors seem to fade to grey
And you'll see the sickly hands of time will write your final rhyme
And end a memory
I never thought you'd let it get this far boy
Sacred ties would never fray
Then why can I let myself tell lies
And watch you die every day
I think back to the times when dreams were what mattered
Tough talking youth naivete
You said you'd never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation
CHORUS
Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind
Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself when you think of what you left behind
Paranoid delusions they haunt you
Where's my friend I used to know
He's all alone.
He's buried deep within a carcass searching for a soul
Can you feel me inside your heart as it's bleeding
Why can't you believe you can be loved
I hear you scream in agony
And the horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation
CHORUS
You said you never let me down
But the horse stampedes, it rages in the name of desperation
CHORUS
The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creation's colors seem to fade to grey
And you'll see the sickly hands of time will write your final rhyme
And end a memory
I never thought you'd let it get this far boy

This song makes me cry every time because I have a close friend who started using Meth....
I wish Skid Row wrote more ballads... Quicksand Jesus, this, and In A Darkened Room are probably my favorites, Bach's vocals make any song amazing.
My favorite Skid Row song along with 18 And Life, I Remember You and In A Darkened Room...
