Seems like a dream to me now
Nothing is what it seems
I hear the ticking in my sleep
I know it's coming for me
You heard me talking in my sleep
The words that fall out of reach my dear
I admit I made the deal but never the show
The hands of time ticking down
I can hear the distant sounds of the metronome
Calling me
My heart is breaking in time
My heart is breaking in time
My heart is breaking in time
So take me down to the lowest of the low
Where the poets sold their souls
A place where no one ever goes
To the crossroads of the soul
A place where no one goes
The faint ticking of that metronome
Hear my heart breaking in time
Breaking in time
My heart is breaking in time
My heart is breaking in time
My heart is breaking in time
I don't know how this happen to us in our prevents
I can hear you talking with the smoke and the winds
So take me down to the lowest of the low
Where the poets sold their souls
A place where no one ever goes
To the crossroads of the soul
The faint ticking of that metronome
Hear my heart breaking in time
Breaking in time
