Girl Out of Time (Acoustic) Lyrics

Lost amidst the libraries of manifesto's destiny

She wraps her head in hopes of better times

And says the war that's coming won't be fought

Beyond the consciousness of thought

As she armours up with leather books and twine

Beyond the depths that others see

There she lives and frequently

Maroons herself away from those that know her

Now don't you go and fall in love

The madman calls down from above

As if he could mean more than any other

Well try as he might

She slips into her mind

And cannot be captured in lines

The girl out of time

Through entrails of a cigarette

You hear her spirit fighting yet

No winter's night could ever quell her flames

Telling tales of being young

Before the vultures took her tongue

She lays her story out for you to claim

Introspection kills the mood

Am I just here to lick your wounds?

Well try as you might

She slips into her mind

And cannot be captured in lines

The girl out of time

So what is this that I have found?

Where auburn meets a golden crown

Though heirs and graces aren't in her style

So before we go our separate ways

Drown in the eternal gaze

Even if for just a little while

Better to be a lost cause

Than to have no cause at all

Well try as I might

She slips into her mind

And cannot be captured in lines

The girl out of time

Well try as I might

She slips into my mind

And cannot be captured in lines

The girl out of time
