A Matter Of Time

(album: Satellites - 2022)

(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, time...)
