When My Time Comes

  • There were moments of dreams
    I was offered to save.
    I lived 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 shouted few quotes I knew,
    As if something that's written
    Should be taken as true.
    But every path I had 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,
    Oh oh oh oh.
    When my time comes,
    Oh 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?

    Now it seems like the unravelling
    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 worse and the
    Worse that it gets.

    Oh you can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
    Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's starin' right back.

    When my time comes,
    Oh oh oh oh.
    When my time comes,
    Oh oh oh oh.

    Well you can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
    Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's starin' right back.

    When my time comes,
    Oh oh oh oh.
    When my time comes,
    Oh oh oh oh.

    When my time comes,
    Oh oh oh oh. Writer/s: Taylor Goldsmith
