The Man Who Broke Time

So who’d you decide to be today?

The martyr or the man?

You strong but you don’t understand

The weight of your inaction.

Throwing seeds into the atmosphere

And praying they sprout up

You’re drifting. Sands are shifting. The seconds never lie

Take all the words you left unspoken

All of the plans not set in motion

All of the doors you left unopened

When you were too scared there was nothing behind.

After they tally up the damage

And all of the expectations have vanished

Who will you find among the wreckage?

Just a man who time has broken?

Or the man who broke time?

You’re captive to this paradox

A lion and a lamb

Prolific, but you have no plan

A creature of reaction

Praying that some fallen angel

Still wants to make a deal

That ticking, Constant, sickening, writes another line.

Take all the words you left unspoken

All of the plans not set in motion

All of the doors you left unopened

When you were too scared there was nothing behind.

After they tally up the damage

And all of the expectations have vanished

Who will you find among the wreckage?

Just a man who time has broken?

Or the man who broke time?

You’ve got a fine selection of favorite afflictions

Little known facts that taste like fiction

But if you think that makes a damn bit of difference

You’ve got it all wrong

Take all the words you left unspoken

All of the plans not set in motion

All of the doors you left unopened

When you were too scared there was nothing behind.

After they tally up the damage

And all of the expectations have vanished

Who will you find among the wreckage?

Just a man who time has broken?

Or the man who broke time?

The man who broke time.

Yeah a fine selection of favorite afflictions

Little known facts that taste like fiction
