long time

smiles that'll disappear with the morning sun, miles of laps that we were made to run, and when the lights dim, i think about myself with no one else around, and i believe there's a way to describe the silence as sound, and it's fading, so let's smother it, 'cause it won't burn out, and i was taken by the arms that dealt the clout, and you will look to the clouds and you will wear the crown!, 'cause it's gonna be a long time, a long time till i get what is mine, yeah, it's gonna be a long time, a long time till i understand what is mine, now all it's gonna' take, is just one cell, i said if he's got the courage, i'm gonna' see him in hell, now god i never lost you, you lost me, and i'm hollow as the heart that fell to my feet, and i believe there's a way to shut things you don't need out, and i believe that agony is the sound, i was taken by the arm that dealt the clout, i will look to the clouds and figure that my time's now
