I dig it, nobody will ever top the Screamin' Jay version though. I will say that swapping off vocalists every verse gets kind of annoying, but I can
understand since it's a fund raiser thing and they wanna get as many big names in there to draw in as many different audiences as possible.

Living a life kept shut by a dream,
I'm reaching out to grasp my reality.
Hands of time wrap tight around my neck, and hit me so hard,
leaving me eyes black.
staring at a ceiling,
wondering why i never left,
penning words in a notebook,
wondering why haven't slept.
sanity is tapping in a cell
inside my fucking head.
begging for redemption
after hearing what was said.
the nights, they will not sleep
cause the days, have played for keeps.
