Here we go around again
Curve of life spiraling
Everything we've ever known
As the seed of life gets blown
And the miracle of time
When will that time just end?
Remember, you decide to take that vow
Grab that ring it's not a whim, not a whim
When you'd be cashing in
Try to turn your life around
And all the things you do resound
And then you can't lose control
Say, your time has come and then
Hard to pinpoint find the seam
Where that one time ends
Where that time begins
Remember, you decide take to that vow
Take a stand, grab that ring
It's not a whim, it's not a whim
It's only time that you're cashing in
In the white noise of desire
We can't hear a single thing
Floating 'round the fragile bough
The afflictions of the human soul
It's beauty immaterial
You decide, stand along the fallen ones
Take revenge, defeated sons
Rend that coat from seam to seam
It's only time, it's only time
That you spend, you spend
It's only time, you spend
It's only time, you spend
It's only life that you're cashing in
