(Jordan, Lionetti)

In just a second of every minute on any day

A twist of fate can appear and take you far away

Unending dreamless sleep that drags you deep inside

Voiceless cries are grains of sand that lag against the tide

How many times have I said, "Not me, I just won't die"

And how many times...have I tried to find the truth within the lie

For the rest of time...I'm doomed to stare into your lifeless eyes

So many times...the chosen one until the day I die

I can't imagine what goes on deep inside your mind

To believe you're better off dead, I know it isn't kind

But looking down upon you there my pen can't describe

To take your place and give you mine, we'll swim against the tide

How many times...I'll wish for you to see what I've seen

And how many times...I'll wish for you to awaken from the blackest dream

For the rest of time...your memory will gleam within my eye

So many times...the chosen one until the day I die

Now on one day I see you, the next I don't

Lying there intensive care, return to us you won't

A family's pain it multiplis to ee your body's ghost

Your soul is gone and can't return to its earthly host
