When people say you can't escape your past, I beg to differ.
I see the goal before me
And turning back now will not solve anything
Running away from myself keeps leading me in circles
Avoiding mistakes I remember all too well
Time is the enemy
I know now that fame and fortune are part of who I am
These fractions of my past have already passed me by
Why is it that regrets/are the only things on my mind/and dreams/I never have anymore
Bad memories/cloud my judgement/success or failure/is all important
Self reflection/avoidable
Though inevitably, turning back at this point was unavoidable

REVERSING TIME

Self reflection/is all important
Success or failure/cloud my judgement
Bad memories/I never have anymore/and dreams/are the only things on my mind
Why is it that regrets/have already passed me by
These fractions of the past/are part of who I am
I know now that fame and fortune/is the enemy
Time/I remember all too well
Avoiding mistakes/keeps leading me in circles
Running away from myself/will not solve anything
And turning back now/I see the goal before me
I beg to differ/when people say you can't escape your past/You can/I just won't
