A Matter of Time

(I should have seen the signs) (It was only just a matter of time) (I should have seen the signs) (It was only just a matter of time) Standing in ruins blinded by another meteor I never even saw it coming down just like all the ones before The irony of the conveniency of things made-up in your head Inflate, fixate while you suffocate every promise that you've ever made The saddest tale I’ll never tell Will echo through The halls of Hell An eon lost The countless cost Need your next victim to malign It was only just a matter of time I've watched you do unto others As you've imagined they’ve done to you And your pride has come before the fall and your downfall is believing all Your fantasies are true I should have heard the warnings I should have seen the signs As you did unto them you'd do to me, your true nature would show eventually It was just a matter of time, a matter of time The ring of empty words, a string of dead intentions Moments strewn across a timeline, you've deleted every one I watched you over years make a career of making enemies I was so dumb to think you wouldn't be the one to turn your weapon against me The saddest tale I'll never tell Will echo through The halls of Hell An eon lost The countless cost Need your next victim to malign It was only just a matter of time I've watched you do unto others As you've imagined they've done to you And your pride has come before the fall and your downfall is believing all Your fantasies are true I should have heard the warnings I should have seen the signs As you did unto them you’d do to me, your true nature would show eventually It was just a matter of time, a matter of time! (Time) (Time) (Time) It was just a matter of time An eon lost The countless cost Need your next victim to malign It was only just a matter of time (It was only just a matter of time) (It was only just a matter of time) This is my last goodbye, my epitaph for you False pretense of integrity, you believed your lies were true And this could be the saddest tale I’ll never tell Evanescently will echo through the halls of Hell (It was only just a matter of time) I've watched you do unto others As you’ve imagined they've done to you And your pride has come before the fall and your downfall is believing all Your fantasies are true I should have heard the warnings I should have seen the signs As you did unto them you'd do to me, your true nature would show eventually It was just a matter of time, a matter of time! (It was only just a matter of time) (Time, time, ...)
