[Verse 1]
Sands in the hourgla** fall for us all
You don't answer me anymore when I call
So much is trapped inside, tangled in your brain
It's getting cold outside and it looks like rain
The sky is falling and my heart is caving in
[Chorus]
So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye
The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes
Day after day after day the world will pa** you by
You forget to remember
[Verse 2]
If this is living, what the hell is living for?
You've boarded up your eyes, your mind has locked the door
I'm just a stranger now with an unfamiliar face
You can't recall me at all
There's not a trace, not a trace, not a trace
I don't know where you are and my world is crumbling in
[Chorus]
[Spoken]
I just want to talk - What do you want?
But you've nothing to say - Leave me alone
I beg you to come - Get away from me
And you just walk away - I have no idea who you are!
I curse the day that your smile fades away, till then I pray
[Bridge]
A burning candle in-between and at both ends
With all that we've learned, yet we still pretend
I just wish you could say my name again
[Verse 4]
They made the lock and broke the key
The culprit was the mercury
The vaccine wipes your memories
Till you forget even how to breathe
A tangled web they weave, when they practice to deceive
[Chorus]
So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye
The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes
Day after day after day the world will pa** you by
I said that I'd be strong, but you know I had to lie
[Outro]
You forget to remember
It's time to say the long goodbye
