Honestly - Lyrics

I count to ten
A year has passed
A generation’s hopes are dashed

And still I waste time

A burning fuse
The falling sands
Lines breaking through
My face and hands

The price of this crime

And time is running out
It’s always tick tock tick tock

My life is now in doubt
With all this tick tock tick tock

I’ve burnt myself right out
Just tryin-a beat that big clock
Wow

I just realised that

Honestly
I think this thing’s killing me

I think this thing is
Taking over all my feelings Makes me forget what I believe in

Funny how
I feel I act different now
I feel I’m acting like someone I don’t believe in

Just wake me up
‘Cos I’m done dreaming now

I plan my time
And time my plan
Cometh the hour
Cometh the man

While you count the cost

‘Cos verse and chapter
Blind belief
Can make a man a
Common thief

The years I stole, lost

The promises we make
Just turn to vapour
Paper is not worth writing on
We’ll just annul it later

When guarantees and hearts are broken
Who’s the traitor now?

Wow. I just realised that

Honestly
I think this thing’s killing me

I think this thing is
Taking over all my feelings Makes me forget what I believe in

Funny how
I feel I act different now
I feel I’m acting like someone I don’t believe in

Just wake me up
‘Cos I’m done dreaming now

I count to ten
A year has passed
A generation’s hopes are dashed

And still I waste time
