By the Time Lyrics

by the time they build you up
you lie awake and start to
dream of all the things you love
that quickly fade and turn to
dust into the empty room
where you would lie and turn your eyes away
and i wont breathe until you tell me to
slowly and im fading
and i wont breathe until you tell me to
sadly im drifting so far down
after all is said and done
we listen close to all the sounds
at night we used to know
the moon it kills it breaks me
up until a million words
a simple song you havent
heard just yet

and i feel you coming out
like a razor in my mouth
the world could end tonight
and you wont know
the time i spend on you
theres more for me to lose
this song will spell it out
and you wont know
