Can't Have It All At Once

(album: Beautiful Things - 2012)

I'm gonna put my palate down
And rip the skin right off my mouth
There seems to be a problem with the main connection
Someone's torn the wires out

Stuck in a place where all the teachers can't be trusted
Everything revolves around their appetite

Decisions become more abnormal
The more attention it gets paid
I'm the number one supporter of the first edition
With all the original errors made

Something started happening to the people I love
None of them have spoken to me since
The way they used to back when I was just a little boy
It's different

My pulse it is gone
Rapidly beating the window
With my hands
It takes time
Why can't I get anyone's attention out there
It takes time

I get too caught up
With counting all the things I can't do right
I'm just around the corner from the crucifixion
Just around the corner from the crucifixion

Something started happening to the people I love
None of them have been close to me since
The way they used to back when I was just a little boy
Deliberate

My pulse it is gone
Rapidly beating the window
With my hands
Why can't I get anyone's attention
(It takes time)
Out there
(It takes time)
We can't prepare for war
And prevent it at the same time
(It takes time)
Though I've chosen the sign
I don't know where the line is
Cause it takes time
Can't have it all at once
It takes time
