 Picked)
There  were moments of dreams I was offered to save
I  live less like a workhorse, more like a slave
I  thought that one quick moment that was noble or brave
 Would be worth  the most of my life.
 So I pointed my fingers, and shout a few quotes I knew
 As if something that's written should be taken as true
 But every path I have taken and conclusion I drew
 Would put truth back under the knife.
And  now the only piece of advice that continues to help:
Is  anyone that's making anything  new only breaks something else.
When  my  time comes,
Ohhhhh,  oh oh oh.
 When my times comes,
 Ohhhhh, oh oh oh.
 So I took what I wanted and put it out of my reach
 I wanted to pay for my successes with all my defeats,
 And if heaven was all that was promised to me
 Why don't I pray for death?
 And now it seems like the unraveling has started too soon,
 Now I'm sleeping in hallways and I'm drinking perfume
 And I'm speaking to mirrors and I'm howling at moons
 While the worst and the worst that it gets.
 Oh you can judge all the world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
 Yes you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.
 When my time comes,
 Ohhhhh, oh oh oh.
 When my time comes,
 Ohhhhh, oh oh oh.
 Oh you can judge all the world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
 Yes you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.
 When my time comes,
 Ohhhhh, oh oh oh.
 When my time comes,
 Ohhhhh, oh oh oh.
