[Verse 1]

Sands in the hourglass fall for us all

You don't answer me anymore when I call

So much is trapped inside, mmh, tangled in your brain

It's getting cold outside and it looks like rain

[Pre-Chorus]

The sky is falling

And my heart is caving in

[Chorus]

So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye

The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes

Day after day after day the world will pass you by

You forget to remember

[Verse 2]

If this is living, what the hell is living for?

You've boarded up your eyes, your mind has locked the door

I'm just a stranger now with an unfamiliar face

You can't recall me at all

There's not a trace, not a trace, not a trace

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't know where you are

And my world is crumbling in

[Chorus]

So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye

The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes

Day after day after day the world is passing you by

You forget to remember

[Bridge]

I just want to talk - What do you want?

But you've nothing to say - Leave me alone

I beg you to come - Get away from me

And you just walk away - I have no idea who you are

I curse the day that your smile fades away, till then I pray

A burning candle in-between and at both ends

With all that we've learned, yet we still pretend

I just wish you could say my name again

[Verse 3]

They made the lock and broke the key

The culprit was the mercury

The vaccine wipes your memories

Till you forget even how to breathe

[Pre-Chorus]

A tangled web they weave

When they practice to deceive

[Chorus]

So, now the time has come to say the long goodbye

The setting of the sun reflecting in your eyes

Day after day after day the world has passed you by

I said that I'd be strong, but you know I had to lie

[Outro]

You forget (confess) to remember (confess)

You forget (confess) to remember (confess)

It's time (confess) to say (confess) the long goodbye
