I come around when I hear the sound begin to chime Like a needle in the ear to bring me back to life To show the world what they wanna see I’ve seen it all much worse than this There’s so much that’s weighing on my mind It feels like I been here a thousand times This cross to bear’s become so much heavier I wasn’t still supposed to be carrying But now’s the time To shed this cross of mine I always took for granted what was my time Never thought about the lights that were gonna die I must have pushed it right to the back of my mind Sitting here and I can’t explain how it feels To feel like it’s lost in a cloudy dream Just waiting for the right time to open my eyes Can I open my eyes? The time ticks on relentless like a man of stone Caught between the substance of your skin and bone Carry on along with this rusty cross It’s taking over my mind I ain’t here for this But now’s the time To shed this cross of mine I always took for granted what was my time Never thought about the lights that were gonna die I must have pushed it right to the back of my mind Sitting here and I can’t explain how it feels To feel like it’s lost in a cloudy dream Just waiting for the right time to open my eyes Can I open my eyes? No one knows the way that it ends We’re all staring down the barrel of a count to ten
