This Is The Time (Ballast)

When did we become these sinking stones?
 When did we build this broken home?
 Holding each other like ransom notes
 Dropping our hearts to grip our brother's throats (Walking blind!)
 You can't see
 Because you don't know
 You're caught below
 Beneath your own shadow
 Stuck inside
 Half alive
 Do you ever stop to ask yourself why?
 Close your mind
 Identify
 Do you feel, do you feel
 Do you call this a life?
 All you waited for
 Drowning just to keep score
 We always start with good intentions
 But lose ourselves along the way
 This is the time that we let it go
 These are the words that will take us home
 Singing the song that's inside us all
 If we don't open our eyes we're
 Walking blind
 Anchored in anger, we exile ourselves
 Bitter blood builds our prison cell
 Darker water now fills our lungs
 The depths of our heart have blacked the sun
 (Walking blind!)
 You can't see
 Because you don't know
 You're caught below
 Beneath your own shadow
 Stuck inside
 Half alive
 Do you ever stop to ask yourself why? (Walking blind)
 Close your mind
 Identify
 Do you feel, do you feel
 Do you call this a life?
 All you waited for
 Drowning just to keep score
 We always start with good intentions
 But lose ourselves along the way
 This is the time that we let it go
 These are the words that will take us home
 Singing the song that's inside us all
 If we don't open our eyes we're
 Walking blind!
 Naked we come
 Naked we leave
 Fools we are to hold tightly
 We are free
 We are free (We are... We are the key! We are the jail! We are the key!)
 This is the time that we let it go
 Yeah, these are the words that'll take us home
 Singing the song that's inside us all
 If we just open our eyes! (If we just open our eyes!)
 This is the time that we let it go
 This is the pain we are forced to know
 Singing the song that's inside
 Inside us all, inside us all!
