Time - Bumblefoot

I thought I could find my reflection off the inside of a blind eye

But all I had to go by were the lying images

Breaking with the fading ripples of time

I can only give what I got

But all I have is what I wanna see

So you can ask for anything

But I can’t share an invisible piece of me

Like a mask — the inside is the opposite face from the outside

And the tougher the skin, or the brighter the grin

The more we shelter from the world — or maybe just from ourselves

So when ya pulled the trigger, thought it made ya bigger

Only from where you can see

Ya think the bitter cold is being bold

But all y’are is frightened of your own humanity

Half my friends are dead

The other half are living off their piece of borrowed time

All I can do is pray for you

And hope you seek out what ya need to find:

Time

Ya killed time

Ya got time

Now it’s your time

And ya gotta find a way to stop time
