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
