This Is The Time (Ballast)

This Is The Time （Ballast）-Nothing More

When did we become these sinking stones

When did we build this broken home

Holding each other like ransom notes

Dropping our hearts

To grip our brother's throat

You can't see because you don't know

You're caught below

Beneath your own shadow

Stuck inside half alive

Do you ever stop to ask yourself why

Close your mind identify

Do you feel do you feel

Do you call this a life

All you waited for

Drowning just to keep score

We always start with good intentions

But lose ourselves along the way

This is the time that we let it go

These are the words

That will take us home

Singing the song

That's inside us all

If we don't open our eyes

We're walking blind

Anchored in anger

We exile ourselves

Bitter blood builds our prison cell

Darker water now fills our lungs

The depths of our heart

Have blacked the sun

You can't see because you don't know

You're caught below

Beneath your own shadow

Stuck inside half alive

Do you ever stop to ask yourself why

Close your mind identify

Do you feel do you feel

Do you call this a life

All you waited for

Drowning just to keep score

We always start with good intentions

But lose ourselves along the way

This is the time that we let it go

These are the words

That will take us home

Singing the song

That's inside us all

If we don't open our eyes

We're walking blind

Naked we come

Naked we leave

Fools we are to hold tightly

We are free

We are

We are the key

We are the jail

We are the key

We are the jail

This is the time

That we let it go

These are the words

That will take us home

Singing the song

That's inside us all

If we don't open our eyes

We don't open our eyes

This is the time that we let it go

This is the pain

We are forced to know

Singing the song

That's inside inside us all

Inside us all
