[Intro] Time takes who I was, gives me who I'll BECOME [Verse 1] Years took more than time Took the way I fucking spoke Weight behind a promise, words I once invoked I can feel the damage But scarcely recognize The person I became... Behind familiar eyes [Pre-Chorus 1] What once came so easy Now catches in my throat The life I fought to reach Has taken what I loved [Chorus 1] Curse of time Carry me Like the river keeps the sea Every prayer becomes a stone Every saint comes home alone Curse of time Cover me Wrap these years in linen sheets If tomorrow buries mine Lay me gently Curse of time [Verse 2] I miss the way I loved Before I understood How quickly years can turn the tender into wood I wouldn't trade this life For who I used to be But fuck, the mourning comes unbidden For what it took from me [Pre-Chorus 2] Years have made me harder In ways I can't defend All the things I cherished Were altered in the end [Chorus 2] Curse of time Carry me Like the river keeps the sea Every prayer becomes a stone Every saint comes home alone Curse of time Cover me Wrap these years in linen sheets If tomorrow buries mine Lay me gently Curse of time [Bridge] I miss the person I was But wouldn't take her place Years have made a stranger of a once familiar face I love the life that followed And mourn what had to die I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS BUT HERE I FUCKING AM BECOMING WHAT I CAN [Final Chorus] Curse of time Shelter me Even ruins grow from seeds Every ending leaves a door Standing where it stood before Curse of time Set me free Only after changing me If forever wears a face It still waits beyond my reach [Outro] I mourn the years, but wouldn't trade The life that grew from what they changed
