lyrics

This circumstance whispers to the day
And if I take one chance
Here, now.

Take time
Take time

The best are all dead they’re all
Perceptions of what we know
And our expectations are screened
So roll out the robes, roll out the robes
So take note that it’s come to this
We’re not guaranteed on turnaround times

Take time
Take time

Destined to settle with the sour taste

Sickened by the constant failings of life
Hearing this as fiction rather than facts
(take time)
Pressing with the tide and falling apart
Crushed by the weight of it all
(take time)
I can never wake for fear that I’ll be
Crushed by the weight of it all

The best are all dead, they’re all
The best are all dead.
Crushed by the weight of it all.
The best are all dead, they’re all
The best are all dead.
Crushed by the weight of it.

Take time
Take time
