This Time

Album: The Great Depression (2005)
  • All seems wasted now you comb your hair
    While your eyes search for a backdoor to get out
    All you could do was to leave your deeds at the door
    As you entered this room of sickness and doubt
    But I saw you put down the memories in your coat just before
    Now you want to drink but need someone to pour
    To pour your heart out

    This time
    You know this is real
    When you're scared to reveal
    This time
    Could you leave this now
    Even if you knew how
    This time
    Looking over your shoulder
    You have become older
    This time
    Are you afraid to die

    With nothing left the pressure is off
    To become all you needed to survive
    With a color black you would not be blessed
    In a church that decides on color and puts a price
    On a paradise you now seem to know so well
    But I know
    I see Jesus in your eye, so kiss the sky and leave this now
    Now I have seen what grace looks like

    This time
    You know this is real
    When you're scared to reveal
    This time
    Could you leave this now
    Even if you knew how
    This time
    Looking over your shoulder
    You have become older
    This time
    Are you afraid to die

    We had an intimate talk
    With god you and I
    Me with my words and you in silence
    All you said was
    I like that
    But I saw Jesus in your eyes

    This time
    You know this is real
    When you have nothing more to reveal
    This time
    Would you leave this now
    Even if you knew how
    This time
    Looking over your shoulder
    You have become older
    This time
    You're not afraid to die Writer/s: CHRISTIAN THELL LINDSKOG, MARCUS TOBIAS DAHLSTROEM, SIMON FRANK GRENEHED, TOMAS NILS NAESLUND
