No one remembers their fortunes as well as their fame
I only wanted to be there for you, but you ran
Into the uniform greatness my goodness I claimed
No one remembers my services, only my name
I was a bleeding heart for all the measure it's worth
I was a softer illusion than I used to look
And now that we're adding up all of the time that it took
You only promised me pages, I promised you books
Oh time, time
Oh, time, time
Break the boundaries
In the lines of time
Nothing as loud as a cannon is soft as a bird
Nothing as cruel as a second and first to a third
Not every human encounter is quite so absurd
No one remembers their promises, only their word
Oh time, time,
Oh, time, time,
Break the boundaries
In the lines of time
Oh time, time,
Oh, time, time,
Break the boundaries
In the lines of time
