Dead weight in the way of something better
Held down with greasy hands and full of pleasure
But it’s all right there, in a state of despair
Permitted heads are buried in the sand
All bells are ringing but no one's listening
Too many blinkers for the pole position
What everyone needs, is promised we'll see
Any word, any sequence for the mission
They're all howling
But it's all just a matter of time for you
It's all broken
But it's all just a matter of time for you
The spoon is stirring but it keeps sticking
The growing pains cause wincing and hissing
But the visionaries wear it, just to make them listen.
Tongues that over work, they can't swallow their pride
Dismiss the bigger picture and they quell,
They quell concerns with lies
They’re all howling
But it's all just a matter of time for you
Can't you see it
But it's all just a matter of time for you

Speaking in cryptic
Always did the trick
A continuing conundrum
Don't want to commit
I can see the writings on the wall
Planned words are always left at the door
I'm a faulty appliance
You keep tripping the circuit
Reset the safety switch
It's temporarily working
Something deep within my boot itches but it can't be scratched by you.
Even if I don't show it
I really care for you
Cos’ I know what you're going through
(x2)
Its you beneath me when I'm walking
You're treading to hard
The lights fading around me
But you can feel in the dark
We've hit a crossroad with two directions and enough space for one car
My roots can't grow to deep
I'm not that species of tree
I need well drained soil
And different hands watering me
Time well spent in a turbulent voyage but I wouldn't take a damn minute back
Even if I don't show it
I really care for you
Cos’ I know what you're going through
(x2)
Thanks for understanding (x7)

I push past what's now
And envision myself in three days
Under the big blue sky, without my shiny shoes or my kind regards
And I know how I feel and what the cause is and how to fix it
I’ve scheduled times to strike and re-route tracks
That I don’t like walking on
But there's a plethora of considerations
That I must take before acting on these decisions,
But maybe I’ve ranked them in the wrong order
My time keeper never stops, and if it did I wouldn’t know
All my big life decisions stand timidly in a familiar old row
But the seconds run away and like yesterday, I throw away the key
But I shouldn’t wait for it, cos’ happiness doesn’t wait for me
If I don't do it right now and walk straight down the middle,
I'm depriving myself of dreams I had when I was little
I decline opportunity, in hope that there's a better one ahead
Just around the corner
I don't have to wait much longer, I’ve been told that patience is a virtue
Deficiency can hurt you
On common ground we stand in the pursuit for contentment
But luck’s just that, some smiles don't reach their full extension
My time keeper never stops and if it did I wouldn’t know
All my big life decisions stand timidly in a familiar old row
But the seconds run away, and like yesterday I throw away the key
But I shouldn’t wait for it, cos’ happiness doesn’t wait for me
If I don't do it right now and walk straight down the middle,
I'm depriving myself of dreams I had when I was little
But I’ve been waiting for far too long
My choices could be wrong
But it's drifting away
And I can't repeat yesterday
So I put my head out
It looks different and I still have my doubts
But I shouldn’t wait for it, cos’ happiness doesn’t wait for me
Cos’ happiness doesn’t wait for me
