Lyrics
When My Time Comes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There were moments of dreams I was offered to save
I live less like a workhorse, more like a slave
I thought that one quick moment that was noble or brace
Would be worth the most of my life.
So I pointed my fingers, and shout a few quotes I knew
As if something that's written should be taken as true
But every path I have taken and conclusion I drew
Would put truth back under the knife.
And now the only piece of advice that continues to help
Is anyone that's making anything new only breaks something else
When my time comes
Oh, oh oh oh
When my times comes
Oh, oh oh oh
So I took what I wanted and put it out of my reach
I wanted to pay for my successes with all my defeats
And if heaven was all that was promised to me
Why don't I pray for death?
And now it seems like the unraveling has started too soon
Now I'm sleeping in hallways and I'm drinking perfume
And I'm speaking to mirrors and I'm howling at moons
While the worst and the worst that it gets
Oh you can judge all the world on the sparkle that you think it lacks
Yes you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back
When my time comes
Oh, oh oh oh
When my time comes
Oh, oh oh oh
Oh you can judge all the world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.
When my time comes
Oh, oh oh oh
When my time comes
Oh, oh oh oh
