- How long -

Climb on top of all you despise
Tt’s a better view from the lies
Two steps behind before I’ve begun
Time stops to tell me all I could have done

And I’ll say
How long till the word will be completed
How many times will history repeat it
How long will it take

How long
How long
I want to go
Will you show me the way

I’d rather be wrong than be deceived
To thinking that I believe
That I can stand to be here on my own
There’s too many questions that we won’t ask
In hopes that this too will pass

But how far down do we have to go before we know it
How long till the word will be completed
How many times will history repeat it
How long will it take

How long how long
I want to go
Will you show me the way

How long
How long
How long will it take

How long
How long
How long
I want to go
Will you show me the way

How long
How long
How long will it take
How long till the word will be completed
How many times will history repeat it
How long till the words fall to the pages
How many times till all we can say is save us
