Mad As A Hatter

I know what time is, time is a thief
It'll steal into bed and rob you while you sleep
And you'll never feel it
It pulls off the covers, and rifles through your head
Then you'll wake to find you can't remember what you just said...
It happens to everyone...
Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind
And I can't forget that one-fourth of his blood is mine
I try not to worry...

Please don't come for me
I promise I'll be great
Just let me keep what's mine (let me keep what's mine)
Please don't come for me
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time (let me have some time)
Please don't come for me
Mind over matter (it don't matter) when you're as mad as a hatter

It's hard to draw a clear distinction
Who you are, who you were
Through the looking glass, the past and future begin to blur
And no-one can blame you
Well they say the world is what you make it
You think, speak and breathe
And those rules still apply, stuck in a world of make believe
You make the best with what you're given...

Please don't come for me
I promise I'll be great
Just let me keep what's mine (let me keep what's mine)
Please don't come for me
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time (let me have some time)
Please don't come for me
Mind over matter (it don't matter) when you're as mad as a hatter

Off with her head, off with her head
Paint the roses, paint the roses
