The whole time

If  I wasn't  observing  I'm not  playing 
If I wasn't  playing  I'm not  observing 
If  someone  noticed  my  move  its over 

I'm gambling  on  life  
I'm gambling on time  
I'm gambling  everything feels so wrong 

In the  pain  of yesterday  I learned 
In the  past  I went  with  the flow 
In the  unraveling  it comes to  mind 

It's  going to be  a  worth it  in the end 
The  best  is still  to  come  
A new  day   is on the  raising  

This  whole  time   it's pushing  
This  whole  time  it's  pulling 

The  darkness  will fade away 
The  night  seems  dark  
The idea's  even darker

The  only  hope I'm holding on  
Tomorrow  is a  brand new day 

The  final  move is  at play
The  unraveling of  all the  madness  
The  great  reveal   of a  new day  

I know  I'm finally on my way 
I know  this  time it so real
I know  what  I  have  done
