lyrics

Lyrics by Ali Jafri

We build a fortress in our minds
To keep the truth at bay, confined
The walls will crumble and we’ll see
The truth we feared has come to be

Frozen in time
A deer in the headlights
A moment of grace
A deer in the headlights

Oh denial
Deceitful friend
That lets us dream
Until the end

We cling to lies
And turn away
Of news that we cant ever say
Our hearts are fragile we cant bear
The weight of truth that’s everywhere

Frozen in time
A deer in the headlights
A moment of grace
A deer in the headlights
Frozen in time
A deer in the headlights
A deer in the headlights
