All This Time Songtext
von Dispatch

I saw it for a second, but then the light was fading
Sister morphine was my lady in waiting
Can I help it if I can′t help it now, all the stories I tell myself
What can I say to you all, it's fair to say, no words will do

′Cause all this time, time is speeding
It's hard to recognize the life we're leaving
It′s time to trip the light of the evening and go now
And in this land there′s shade and shadow
We break bread and consecrate the battle
Cradle to the grave, put sword to the saddle, it's each other we will miss

Oh, the happiest moment of my life was the saddest moment of my life

Was in prison when my daddy died
They didn′t tell me for fear of suicide
Told me when I got outside
I started using as soon as I was alone that night
And I died and I went up straight to him
He said "where you been, my troubled son"


All this time, time is speeding
Hard to recognize the life we're leaving
It′s time to trip the light of the evening and go now

And in this land there's shade and shadow
We break bread and consecrate the battle
Cradle to the grave, put sword to the saddle, it′s each other we will miss

Oh, the happiest moment of my life was the saddest moment of my life

Oh, my love, can I (just sit) just sit and hold your face
(We finally) We finally made it here, but now the light is low

All this time, the time is speeding
Hard to recognize the life we're leaving
It's time to trip the light of the evening and go now

And in this land there′s shade and shadow
We break bread and consecrate the battle
Now I′m feeling kind of faint, I think I need to lay down

Oh, you almost saved me
You almost saved me
You almost saved me now
You almost saved me now
You almost saved me now
You almost saved me now (almost saved, you almost saved me now)


All this time we pledge allegiance to the tune of a thousand treasons
One nation under something, under water, under mass incarceration
In the age of feast and famine, can we disrupt the social canon
Let our children leads
We all believe, let us see the forest for the trees
