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