Time
Standing all alone
I bled for you
I wanted to
Each drop my own
Slowly they depart
But fall in vain
Like desert rain
And still they fall on and on and on
Got to get back to a reason
Got to get back to a reason I once knew
And this late in the seasons
One by one distractions fade from view
So
Drifting through the dark
The sympathy
Of night's mercy
Inside my heart
Is your life the same
Do ghosts cry tears
Do they feel years
As time just goes on and on and on
Got to get back to a reason
Got to get back to a reason I once knew
And this late in the seasons
One by one distractions fade from view
Years come around
Men can be found
Following orders
Years come around
Planning is sound
Promises made
Years come around
Tears on the ground
Blood stains the borders
Leaders abound
Chances are down
No one's been saved
Give me one reason
For this dark treason
Every chance unsaid
Turn around
All dead
What went wrong
...
Give me one reason
For this dark treason
Every chance unsaid
Turn around
All dead
What went wrong
Drink until you drown
What else can I say
When you're falling down
You seek the ground
It's never far away
Can you live your life
Completely in a fall
Until you're found
Well underground
Your marker very small
As my world it keeps on spinning round
Have to get away
Have to ease the pain
I embrace the morphine child
And pump it in my veins
Burning through my heart
Fills in every hole
Makes my mind so blissful numb
And replaces my soul
Every moment drags me further
Down down down down down down...
Got to get back to a reason
Got to get back to a reason I once knew
And this late in the seasons
One by one distractions fade from view
The only reason I have left...
Is you
