So pick your ass up again
Now the time passes by
You cover bruises with your excuses again
But when you ask yourself, "Why?"
Everyone around you seems to be alright
You know you could have played it off
But you started sweating, sweating, sweating
When I saw your anger, anger
Now
Now
And now the ghost is alive
This apparition has taken over your life
And every time you ask, "Why?"
You never have to pay back what you leave behind
And every time you talk it out
The time keeps on ticking, ticking, ticking
'Till one day it's over, over
Now
Now
You're not the victim here
You know the time is
Now
Now
Don't give in on the way down
Now, you'll never have to leave me
Now, you'll never have to leave from this place
To a much better place
But when everything is over
And your head is all clear
I will be right there waiting for you to be here
(The time is, the time is now)
(The time is, the time is now)
(The time is now)
But once you go and cross the line
You can't re-cross that line
Execution style is not the way to go
And every time you blow it out
The fuse keeps getting shorter, shorter, shorter
'Till one day it blows up in your face
Now
Now
Get up off your ass, you know the time is
Now
Now
Change your pathetic life
You know the time is
Now
Now
But don't give in on the way down
Now
