Once upon a time
statement of design
Thought I'd found my path
I thought I'd walk the line
But when the future came
I saw who was to blame
'cuz when you're standing there
nothing really is the same

I told her stay away
I told her yesterday
I wanted everything
I gotta find my way
When you hear the sound
you see me coming round
That's when I'm almost there
you better hit the ground

'cuz if I say it twice
ain't gonna say it nice
When I blow it up
I'm gonna blow it right
Another second's rest
another terrorist
You need to keep it real
or put it to the test

I hope you're hearing me
I hope that now you see
That all the time we lost
was really time we need
No time left to bleed
No time for sin and greed
No time to throw away
just a little time to pray

So here we here we go
now it's time to decide
Because I true believer's always ready to die
If it's true what they say
then it doesn't matter anyway
And if it does
then you just threw it all away

The beginning of the end
starts right about now
But we're gonna make it through somehow
So in the end
if you've always believed
Then you better give it all
when you give it to me

Break
and fall away
It's like a method
where nothing remains
It's a chance to start again
a singularity
And in the absence of trust
I found some clarity

The more you hate
the more you feel
The more you wait
the more you see that none of this is real
Breakdown
waiting for the shakedown
Hurry up and wait now
waiting for the takedown but

I leave a trace behind
it's like a signature
It's still a miracle
that I remember her
Absent minds killing time
try to free your mind
'cuz when I'm gone then it's on
try to reassign

You can run and hide
it doesn't matter see?
You can leave or belong
it's all the same to me
Our day will come
it's just a question of time
And remember when you're dying
it's because we're all divine
