I'm not looking for absolution
You'll never hear my apologize
I can only see one solution
Out of these weary blackened eyes
When you wish upon a scar
The blood runs hotter than before
I'm not looking for affirmation
I've got no time for the silly games
You let me have aspirations
The left me hanging just the same
Years have gone by and nothing changed
Don't you think it's just a little strange
It's time to leave
The way I should have years ago
I suppose I've always known
That it's your dog and pony show
I've been hanging on your opinion
Hoping to be sanctified
Banging on the wall of your dominion
I still feel the sting of your fratricide
You and I will keep going round and round
Til we've run it into the ground
It's time to leave
All the hours that I've spent
Trying to see inside your head
What made you think that I'd forget
You kept me hanging way too long
I never felt that I belonged
You treat me like a tagalong
You and I will keep going round
'Til one of us is in the ground
It's time to leave
It's black or white, no in-between
These pieces are broken
Too much left unspoken
It's time to leave
It's black or white, no in-between
It's all broken
These pieces are broken
It's way past time
It's way past time
