Broken hearts and empty cups I try but just can't fill. These are pieces I find that keep me going. Pieces that keep me awake. Pieces that keep me dreaming.

Kill The Ones I Long To Be

VERSE1:

your mission’s compromised the moment that you lay the plans
i count the tired yarns you’ll spin yourself on just one hand
and with all the time your wasting i could write a thousand songs for you
if noise could spoil your mission that would be one more excuse

BRIDGE/CHORUS:

your “will“‘s will turn to “might“‘s
in spite of time’s relentless melt

your “maybe“‘s justified
by all the lies you tell yourself

but rest assured my friend,
in time you will
in time you will
in time you will
in time you will
in time you will
in time you will
in time you will

VERSE 2:

the cadence of these words will dawn upon a greater man than you
and he will change his mind to find the way to getting out of this is through
and with nothing learned and unconcerned you’ll shrug responsibility
but you are well aware that this is not what you were born to be

BRIDGE/CHORUS:

your “will“‘s will turn to “might“‘s
in spite of time’s relentless melt

your “maybe“‘s justified
by all the lies you tell yourself

but rest assured,
in time you will.


BREAKDOWN:
I’ve been treading water, barely staying up.
Tending to the broken hearts, and emptying the cups.
I’ve been standing in the quicksand looking up.
“In time you will” has been the sinking anthem long enough.

Kill the fallen angels.
Kill the ones I long to be.

I’ve let Mr. Hyde decide for long enough.
Broken glass and bloody knees and suicidal lust.
All the faces photos seem to show beneath the dust.
Wasted youth, unspoken truth, and traces of disgust.

“Sorry, son, but could you hold this till your time is up?”
“Weeeeeeeeeeeeell…I’ve been been carrying the weight for long enough.”
In time you would, in time you would, in time you would give up.
In time you will
In time you will
In time you will
In time…

Kill the fallen angels.
Kill the ones I long to be.

END CALL:
Give me what i’m owed and
all the weight will seem to
fall away

END RESPONSE:
Getting what you wanted
doesn’t mean the weight will
fall away

END CALL:
Give me everything and
all the weight will seem to
fall away

END RESPONSE:
Give up everything and
all the weight will surely
fall away
