This is the time lyrics

When did we become these sinking stones?

When did we build this broken home?

Holding each other like ransom notes

Dropping our hearts to grip our brother's throat



You can't see because you don't know

You're caught below, beneath your own shadow

Stuck inside, half alive

Do you ever stop to ask yourself why?

Close your mind, identify

Do you feel, do you feel?

Do you call this a life?

All you waited for

Drowning just to keep score



We always start with good intentions

But lose ourselves along the way



This is the time that we let it go

These are the words that will take us home

Singing the song that's inside us all

If we don't open our eyes we're walking blind



Anchored in anger, we exile ourselves

Bitter blood builds our prison cell

Darker water now fills our lungs

The depths of our heart have blacked the sun



Naked we come, naked we leave

Fools we are, to hold tightly

We are the jail, we are the key

We are free, we are free

This is the time that we let it go

This is the pain we are forced to know

Singing the song that's inside us all

If we just open our eyes​
