Measured In Time

You always wanted

To be left alone

When they said to you

Those things won't matter anymore

Will it stay with you

And when the morning comes

Would you say that I lied

Or could you want to die

Over something that was equally

Measured in time

Not something that I wished for you

All those dreams you know that won't come true

They will all die alone for you

The kind of thing you gave up to see

I tore a page from the list of lies in the past

Something that you always wanted to be

You weren't cut out for the things if you took

You would last

Leave me alone

When I say to you

That I'm not the one

The impervious son

Set me on fire with the honest hand

Could you only want yourself

When I'm in command

To make your life what you want to be

You've got to smash all the things that get in your path

And less forget for who it should be

Put your hand in the box and you'll see

Don't hold that mirror up to me

I've had enough from what I can see

I'd try to get up but I don't know how

I'm too locked into it now

And if the morning comes

When my ticket arrives

Could you say that I've lied

Over something that was equally

Measured in time
