lyrics

time we take is time we need
can’t we all just try and free
all ourselves from all our pain
and i could never find the pain
of the lost and of the criminally insane

and can’t you see them or could it be
that everyone depresses me
time we take we never heed
and i could never be to you when you're gone and it is all
i’ve ever knew

concede to what
what you knew
i’ve been pretty awfully
awfully down on my knees for you

and i’ve been down on my knees for you
bent and broke and pleasing
but you’ll never be free
i’ll never be free
and i admit that i had not a clue
and god you really hurt me
but you’ll never be free
i’ll never be free

and i admit it’s what when you’re right on cue
i’ve been pretty awful awfully down on my knees for you

right?

and i could never find the whim just to take that bitter end
time we take we never need
and i could never try to pretend
when you’re gone and all i see is a suspended reality of
everything i ever wanted and cared for or knew
