My Time Is Running Out

My Time Is Running Out

My mind is my deadliest weapon,
And you are my latest victim.
The fear I long withheld could finally be rescinded.
The words that you’ve subtly spoken,
They have all but broken me open.
Now I wait for the sun of the thirteenth day
To find what I’ve always hoped.

Today, I leave the place I once called home.
Tonight, I write the script and pave my own road.

CHORUS:
My time is running out.
I’m about to tear you to pieces
Before you’d even know why.
My time is running out.
You won’t even know what you’re missing
As I bleed from your eyes.
So run out on me.

My words are my greatest resistant,
And you cannot feel what you hear.
The demon I see in innocent hearts wants to play again.
Come out of your cage and just listen,
Pull me in and take my control,
Before the black storm breaks and glistens,
‘Cause I’m about to lose it all.

Today, leave the place you once called home.
Tonight, be the story I have never told.

CHORUS

I am the missing piece;
Can you not see?
I am perfect; I’m all that you’ve wanted;
But after all, you’ll never see.
I’m going down,
And you’re coming down with me.
