Cost Of Time Lyrics

Woke up again to the same old grind

Clock's ticking fast leaving us behind

We chase the paper chase the thrill

Selling our souls for another bill

The mirror shows a face I barely know

Lines of life etched deep in shadow

We trade our dreams for what they sell

But no one tells you it's a living hell

We're just ghosts in suits and ties

Running circles til the spirit dies

Time's the thief we can't outpace

No matter how fast we chase

You can't buy back the years you've sold

You can't escape the growing cold

In the end we're left alone

Holding time like a weight of stone

We dress it up make it look so grand

But every tick slips through our hands

We burn the midnight oil for gold

But the warmth fades leaving us cold

We build our castles high and wide

But time just laughs from the other side

The clock keeps ticking the shadow's long

Whispering softly that we've got it wrong

The shine of silver the gleam of gold

Won't keep us warm when we're too old

Time's the thief we can't outpace

No matter how fast we chase

You can't buy back the years you've sold

You can't escape the growing cold

In the end we're left alone

Holding time like a weight of stone

We're all just trading hours for lies

Blind to the truth behind our eyes

The cost of time is paid in blood

Swept away like a raging flood

And when we reach the final door

We'll find that money means no more

The moments lost the love denied

Will haunt us as we close our eyes

Time's the thief we can't outpace

No matter how fast we chase

You can't buy back the years you've sold

You can't escape the growing cold

In the end we're left alone

Holding time like a weight of stone

So here we stand at the edge of the night

Wondering if we've lived it right

The hands of time are cold and still

Reminding us of what we failed to fill

We can't buy back the time we've lost

We've paid the price but what's the cost
