So safe within this cozy little cell
 No risk at all throwing coins into a well
 I lust for gold, but shutter at the price
 Reward I want, but not the sacrifice

 And the target's well with in my sights
 But my hands won't release the bow
 I've been pulling back on it so long
 I've forgotten how to let it go
 And I know I have the means
 But my will is gone
 And I fear I won't succeed so I'm holding on

 A life passes by, I watch passively
 I'm haunted by time, my enemy
 I fear that I'm bound, I fear that I'm free
 And haunted by time, my enemy

 I'm frozen by the fast approaching night
 A dear that stares into oncoming light
 It's time for me to come down from the fence
 But either side invites a consequence

 Waiting for the door to open wide
 Waiting for the stones to find their place
 The price it never seems to leave my hands
 Intentions never help me in the race
 And I know I have the means
 But my will is gone
 And I fear I won't succeed so I'm holding on

 A life passes by, I watch passively
 I'm haunted by time, my enemy
 I fear that I'm bound, I fear that I'm free
 And haunted by time, my enemy

 So I'm safe within my cozy little shell
 No risk at all, just wishing to myself
 The price of gold, more than I care to spend
 But the cost of life is to chance the consequence

 And the target's well with in my sights
 But my hands won't release the bow
 I've been pulling back on it so long
 I've forgotten how to let it go
 And I know I have the means
 But my will is gone
 And I fear I won't succeed so I'm holding on

 A life passes by, I watch passively
 I'm haunted by time, my enemy
 I fear that I'm bound, I fear that I'm free
 And haunted by time, my enemy
