Too Soon for so Long

Both your eyes are opening You'll see me first of anything Take a little time before you speak to me I know the next thing you will say Is from a place of honesty Try to show a little bit of empathy If what you want is a war I'll be the same annoying asshole that I was before I know time is running short Please take this closing argument for what it's worth What's the price of better news? Or some time to think things through? Take all blame for myself and accept every bit of abuse Too soon for so long Out and far away again Everything seems dissonant With the added feeling of finality I know you can't believe I'd say something so absurd as the truth Though you knew it anyway What's done and what's gone Is the definition of what it's become What was right? What was wrong? Never really mattered much to anyone What's the price of better news? Or some time to think things through? Take all blame for myself and accept every bit of abuse Too soon for so long
