Long Time

[Verse 1]

Smiles that'll disappear with the morning sun

Miles of laps that we were made to run

And when the lights dim, I think about myself with no one else around

And I believe there's a way to describe the silence as sound

And it's fading

Let's smother it, so it won't burn out

And I was taken by the arms that dealt the clout

And you look to the clouds and you wear the crown

[Chorus]

'Cause it's gonna be a long time

A long time, till I get what is mine

Yeah, it's gonna be a long time

A long time, 'til I understand what is mine

[Verse 2]

Now all it's gonna' take, is just one cell

I said if he's got the courage, I'm gonna see him in hell

Now God I never lost you, you lost me

And I'm hollow as the heart that fell to my feet

And I believe there's a way to shut things you don't need out

And I believe that agony is the sound

I was taken by the arm that dealt the clout

I will look to the clouds and figure that my time's now

[Chorus]

'Cause it's gonna be a long time

A long time till I get what is mine

Yeah, it's gonna be a long time

A long time till I understand what is mine

'Cause it's gonna be a long time

A long time till I get what is mine

Yeah, it's gonna be a long time

A long time till I understand what is mine
