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
