Dennis DeYoung - Crossing The Rubicon lyrics

Somewhere in the madness of a long forgotten time Resurrect the pieces to the crime I'm searching for an answer that somehow could explain Why I feel this misery and pain But who am I to pretend The fault is mine in the end Sifting through the ashes for any alibis All I find is me in my disguise Father won't you help me, hallowed be thy name I confess I am the one to blame And though my life fades to black I know there's no turning back So as I cross the Rubicon I know I can't go on feeling this way And I can't be like Estragon A fool who's waiting on some better day When all my prayers are answered and all my sins absolved And all life's mysteries have been resolved Father won't you tell me, why life is such a sham And why I don't know who the hell I am And though I'm feeling estranged I must admit somehow I've changed So as I cross the Rubicon I know I'll carry on, oh come what may And I can't be like Estragon A fool who's waiting on some judgement day Woke up in a cold sweat screaming Same dream I'm always dreaming Look out there's a monster waitin' Comin' for me with the mark of Satan Can't run I'm in slow motion I can't swim in the middle of the ocean I can't breathe I need intubation Everywhere I look there's complete devastation Wake me Wake me, somebody wake (interlude) And as I cross the Rubicon I vow to carry on, oh come what may And I'll not be like Estragon Some fool who's waiting for someone to say It's OK... it's ok... it's ok...
