they say you look the same
your eyes and ears are what we gave
your father never knew your name
and that's how it is
you'd always want to leave
find the forest for the trees
your mother never would agree
and that's how it is
so you learn, learn, learn
to never fall apart
they lied to you because they could
and you burn, burn, burn
you curse them up above
and only just because
you should
this time
ooh this time
ooh this time
this time
this time, was never a place you'd want to be
this time, empty houses, empty woods, forgotten streets
this time, had always meant so much more to me
this time
everything you see
distorted, changed and made to be
shades you never could believe
and that's how it is
so you learn, learn, learn
to never fall apart
they lied to you because they could
and you burn, burn, burn
you curse them up above
and only just because
you should
this time was never a place you'd want to be
this time, empty houses, empty woods, forgotten streets
this time had always meant so much to me
this time
this time, you thought that anything could change
this time, your mind, your heart and, most of all, your face
this time, would always brig back to you this place
this time
