A Time To Be Silent, A Time To Speak Lyrics by Sleep For Sleepers

What Has Been Done Will Be Done Again

2010

[Verse 1]
Oh, my friend, the sound it makes
You're moving in, oh, so slowly
I want to get out of here
Just get me out of here
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You're crawling back
It's something you're lacking
But I just want what I like, that's fine
Now you have my attention and all my affection
I hope for the weak when it all seems so bad
(And when I swear, it strikes the fear)
And through the tide, it's coming near, oh
[Chorus]
I swear I was watching you crawl
Up, over, through all these walls
Oh, my Lord, I'll be still, still
My body is turning around
The faith I've been bragging about to you, to you
[Verse 2]
You've been planning on getting away
But you're in my sight
You're running faster and I'm chasing after
But I've got the gift and the hands of time
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm going to go search through this town
And find a way to pull you out
Light a match, tie you down and watch you burn
And when I swear, it strikes the fear
Through the tide, it's coming near
[Chorus]
I swear I was watching you crawl
Up, over, through all these walls
Oh, my Lord, I'll be still, still
My body is turning around
The faith I've been bragging about to you, to you
[Breakdown]
Leaving it up to the crowds
I'm walking away, not looking back
Holding the mercy I've found
I'm walking away, I'm not looking back
[Chorus]
I swear I was watching you crawl
Up, over, through all these walls
Oh, my Lord, I'll be still, still
My body is turning around
The faith I've been bragging about to you, to you
