Lyrics:

Time slowly fades as I react in the moment.
Chronology embellishes me.
Minutes turn to hours, hours to days
And then the sun escapes from me.
Oh how could this be?
The only guiding light I had around to see.
Now the shadows bind to me.

Flawed by design.
An unavoidable trait of our kind.
We're bound to create these mistakes and reflect in memories.

I know you look back on your life and hours spent
and recollect on all the things you could've done different.

These things we'll never know until we view them with our eyes.
Change is the only constant we can safely assure in our lives.
As it arrives you will be wondering why.

Only then is it apparent.
Please embrace the knowledge of what we've learned.
The trials you have past inherited; learn from them.   

What is the light without the dark inside
To experience these hollow nights
To make us feel alive in the brighter times?

Sometimes I look back on my life and all the hours spent
And reflect on all the things I could've done differently.

I know you look back on your life and hours spent
And recollect on all the things you could've done different.

Flawed by design.

We're bound to create these mistakes and reflect in memories.
