(Time's tickin' away, time's tickin' away)
I can't see it's too dark
Too far, but I'm feeling like I don't dare look away
They loom so large but make me feel so small, so hard
Did it almost make you feel
And a time to leave
When the circus that you left goes on parade
When you're chasing your own tail in your own wheels
When you wake up feeling lost in your own room?
You'll see
And those things you see seem so far in your charade
Did it almost make you feel that something's gotta happen soon
You're in the movies now and I'm in your cartoon
It's a mountain made of sand crumbling under me
Don't look away
That something's got to happen soon
There's a ringing in my ears that's heaven sent
But I've got to know what's got the best of me
If you think we'll rise above, you'd better look around
And a time to stay, I guess the things I look away
Maybe I'm chasing shadows on your wall
If you're crying in your beer you're gonna drown
There's a beast out on the ruins, some broken down lover's lament
