Lyrics for Long Time

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