This Is the Time (Ballast)

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 throats (Walking blind!) 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 (Walking blind!) 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? (Walking blind) 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 free (We are... We are the key! We are the jail! We are the key!) This is the time that we let it go Yeah, these are the words that'll take us home Singing the song that's inside us all If we just open our eyes! (If we just 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! Walking Blind!
