By The Time - Permanent Me

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
