Have I been awake too long? I'm taking this way too far Have I been awake too long? And then it hits me somewhere right between the eyes Because I know the cost of time, and I've paid it all my life Near or far, no matter how close you are Hopelessly united in entropy Could it be, the presence of memory Is all we are, and all that we'll ever be? Have I been awake too long? I'm taking this way too far Have I been awake too long? And then I tell myself it's just so far away Back to the old routine that fills my every day Some pray the holy ghost will save them from the grave But I know the cost of time, and I've paid it all my life
