Long Time

[Verse 1]
Smiles that'll disappear with the morning sun
Miles of laps that we were made to run
And when the lights dim, I think about myself with no one else around
And I believe there's a way to describe the silence as sound

And it's fading
Let's smother it, so it won't burn out
And I was taken by the arms that dealt the clout
And you look to the clouds and you wear the crown

[Chorus]
'Cause it's gonna be a long time
A long time, till I get what is mine
Yeah, it's gonna be a long time
A long time, 'til I understand what is mine

[Verse 2]
Now all it's gonna' take, is just one cell
I said if he's got the courage, I'm gonna see him in hell
Now God I never lost you, you lost me
And I'm hollow as the heart that fell to my feet

And I believe there's a way to shut things you don't need out
And I believe that agony is the sound
I was taken by the arm that dealt the clout
I will look to the clouds and figure that my time's now

[Chorus]
'Cause it's gonna be a long time
A long time till I get what is mine
Yeah, it's gonna be a long time
A long time till I understand what is mine

'Cause it's gonna be a long time
A long time till I get what is mine
Yeah, it's gonna be a long time
A long time till I understand what is mine
