Only Time

This is the only time I have to write this song So I'll stay strong All those other times All those other lives feel so So long ago Am I even the same person, and what difference does it make? Am I a version of a version, and why do I think this way? Is it a part of being human, always hating what you're making? And if so- how will we know Where to begin? All these animals inside my brain We chained them up, now they can't be tamed But can we let em go? How will we know? This is the only time we'll ever have So stand up, hands up, Everybody's running for their lives And someone has a knife And they're pretending not to know They're reaching for the stars, and taking some of ours, they leave glitter on the bottom row And everywhere I go, the people want to know- Just how to be like them This is the only time (This is the only time) The is the only time This is the only time (This is the only time) The is the only time Are you even the same person And what difference would it make? When I started going under, I'd forgotten how to swim It'd been so long- where'd we go wrong? (Where'd we begin?) What took us so long? (Can we beat them?) And can we be strong - like we belong? We belong! This is the only time (This is the only time) The is the only time This is the only time (This is the only time) The is the only time
