The Impressions of Time

A walk through this town
Was the last thing that I need
An old house still stands
A monument to busted seams
Crooked allies hold my memories like a thief
A walk through this town, oh the the Hauntings that make me
A cryptic curse shedding light on all my scars
I often wonder how could I have come so far
Against the ropes
Poised and singing pantomimes
It's nothing more than the impression of time
Will love fail?
We don't know
We don't know
Will I fail?
I don't know
I don't know
A king of sorts
I'll be the first one to admit
All the strength I claim I have pulled from my friends
Armed to the teeth and marching in such perfect line
Just you never mind the impression of time
Will love fail?
We don't know
We don't know
Will I fail?
I don't know
I don't know
This is real and I plan
To get out in one piece
Just let this cold air calm you
This is real and I plan
To get out in one piece
Don't let the bottle break you
This is real and God I plan
To get out in one piece
Don't let the mirror fool you
This is real and I plan
To get out in one piece
This chemical will calm you
Cause I've heard we're all forgiven
I've heard we're all forgiven
Because I've been back and forth and I've seen what I needed to see
And I've done what I needed to do
But on some level I've always known
That deep down inside
I'm all gone
I'm all gone
I'm all gone
