How Long - MEGA PIXEL

If the gravity gave in

Tell me how would you fall

If you had to go and repent

Who would be the first you’d call

I’ve been looking at my watch too much

I just can’t waste no time

As the Earth continues to spin

We just keep looking at the sky

Wondering

How long does it take

Before the cycle breaks

How long does it take

Before the cycle breaks

Before it goes up

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Up

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

And never comes down

How long

How long

How long

How long

Before it breaks

What’s the chance you will evr know

What do you miss if it never shows up

So much left to giv on the home front

People die we share the same blood

Eight billion all from one seed

Half of that got more than they need

Wonder when that scale might tip

Wonder when we gon' look at receipts

I just want to find my stride

Let the self-doubt go out of my mind

Everybody ain’t that kind

Find me a little piece of what I used to fear

Jump in head first

No protective gear

Hit the battlefield

No body armor

Nothing left to lose

I could not be calmer

How long does it take

Before the cycle breaks

How long does it take

Before the cycle breaks

Before it goes up

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Up

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

And never comes down

How long

How long

How long

How long

Before it breaks

Hourglass

Waiting by the end

By the water

Everybody’s draining

Hours being draining

Being

Being

Someone other

Every hour

Every day

Losing count of every way

There’s a new abuse of

One, two, three, four

I can’t force

You to see the fractions in the fiction

That we’re living in

Insisting

Everything is your decision

Because it’s not

No

Supercalifragilistic diction

Swinging on the two and four

This ain’t rigid

I’ve been thinking

How long does it take

Before the cycle breaks

How long does it take

Before the cycle breaks

Before it goes up

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Up

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

And never comes down
