the lies are buried in your eyes,
you stare at the floor with the truth disguised
our dreams revealing that we can
replace you with an honest man
one who'll save the day and leave us all more time to play
i need more time to enjoy what i have and give thanks
the cries that carry through the sky
and the fear that leaves you paralyzed
the sorrows hard to understand
when injustice trumps all our demands
the things that we must do to overcome and get through
i need more time to enjoy what i have
you never did the thing you really love
you tried your best to sing and rise above
your eyes are blinded by the lies
fooled by machines that can hypnotize
guided to a haunted land
lead astray forced to play a deceptive hand
don't give away your time
or sacrifice those next in line
you never did that thing you really love
you tried your best to sing and rise above
and the growing guilt that left you so debilitated
it's laughing at you
patiently waiting for the fatal slip the final trip
for the very last time
for the very last time
