the time has come
The time has come to speak of many things Of jacks and queens and kings  I bared my wrists and promised to begin But you cut the blade straight in  try hard my love do you hear the distant strings Please remember what this means  did I come back for all of this? It seems absurd somehow... With one well-placed flick of the wrist You've really done it now...  (all of my blind ambition left me deaf with perfect vision)  the time has come For things to come undone That we should not have begun  at last I felt a numbness overcome And now you turn and run...  the time has come To take me in your arms and touch these fragile scars  you have the choice now so decide If you want in or out There is too much left for us to try You can't just give up now  the time has come To speak of many things Of jacks and queens and kings  it took that cut to bring me back to life They're bleeding, they're frightened but I hold out both my hands: No one in the world will ever touch me there again.
