Ed Ackerson - Timelines lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] Sifting through the broken gla** The echoes of my ancient past Keep flooding into every pore Like scattered seeds of sycamore Suddenly I started wondering how I got here Was it a matter of time? [Verse 2] Catholic school my private hell I stuttered 'til the age of twelve Discovered s** at seventeen And soon thereafter, self-esteem The days did not matter And years were a lifetime away [Verse 3] Drowning in a heavy stock Of teenage girls and indie rock I flunked out of each college course And set my sails for no remorse The nights were for nowhere And that's where I wanted to be [Chorus] Someone said "It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing" Do you ever wonder how you got to here? It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing Do you ever wonder how you got to here? [Verse 4] Branded, marked, and paper thin This angry saint went marching in To war with scores of ninety proof Found nothing but the ugly truth A decade of wastage An instant and everything's changed [Verse 5] Woke up feeling thirty-five Though grateful that I'm still alive Another chance at normalcy To chase the dream, but now it seems That days run away like wild horses over the hills [Chorus] Someone said "It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing" Do you ever wonder how you got to here? (It's just a matter of time) It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing Do you ever wonder how you got to here? [Bridge] Take it in and hold on while you can All the destruction will one day end And you'll finally know exactly who you are [Chorus] It's just a matter of timing Do you ever wonder how you got to here? (It's just a matter of time) It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing Do you ever wonder how you got to here? (It's just a matter of time) It's not a matter of time, it's just a matter of timing Do you ever wonder how you got to here? Do you ever wonder how you got to here?
