Timelines

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Sifting through the broken glass

The echoes of my ancient past

Keep flooding into every pore

Like scattered seeds of sycamore

Suddenly I started wondering how I got here

Was it a matter of time?

[Verse 2]

Catholic school my private hell

I stuttered 'til the age of twelve

Discovered sex at seventeen

And soon thereafter, self-esteem

The days did not matter

And years were a lifetime away

[Verse 3]

Drowning in a heavy stock

Of teenage girls and indie rock

I flunked out of each college course

And set my sails for no remorse

The nights were for nowhere

And that's where I wanted to be

[Chorus]

Someone said

"It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing"

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?

It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?

[Verse 4]

Branded, marked, and paper thin

This angry saint went marching in

To war with scores of ninety proof

Found nothing but the ugly truth

A decade of wastage

An instant and everything's changed

[Verse 5]

Woke up feeling thirty-five

Though grateful that I'm still alive

Another chance at normalcy

To chase the dream, but now it seems

That days run away like wild horses over the hills

[Chorus]

Someone said

"It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing"

Do you ever wonder how you got to here? (It's just a matter of time)

It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?

[Bridge]

Take it in and hold on while you can

All the destruction will one day end

And you'll finally know exactly who you are

[Chorus]

It's just a matter of timing

Do you ever wonder how you got to here? (It's just a matter of time)

It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing

Do you ever wonder how you got to here? (It’s just a matter of time)

It’s not a matter of time, it’s just a matter of timing

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?

Do you ever wonder how you got to here?
