Deer Tick — Long Time lyrics

Lyrics

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
Let’s smother it, 'cause it won’t burn out
And I was taken by the arms that dealt the clout
And you look to the clouds and you wear the crown
'Cause it’s gonna be a long time
A long time, 'til I get what is mine
Yeah, it’s gonna be a long time
A long time, 'til 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
'Cause it’s gonna be a long time
A long time, 'til I get what is mine
Yeah, it’s gonna be a long time
A long time, 'til I understand what is mine
