Matter Of Time
Fight The Fade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(It's a matter of time)
It’s exhausting trying to understand
Your intentions and your master plan
I’m running a race that I can’t win
Cause I’m on eggshells with every step
(Revolution's coming for you)
Once they’re gone, watch this unfold
The iron’s hot
If you’re ready or not
(We’ll strike)
You’ll learn you’re not immune
It’s a matter of time
'Til you face your crimes
(You’ll find)
Your numbered days are few
You can only run so far
Until your heart caves in
Because once the truth comes out
You’ll learn who are your real friends
The sands of time are running low
(Revolution's coming for you)
Once they’re gone, watch this unfold
The iron’s hot
If you’re ready or not
(We’ll strike)
You’ll learn you’re not immune
It’s a matter of time
'Til you face your crimes
(You’ll find)
Your numbered days are few
(It's a matter of time)
(It's a matter of time)
It’s a matter of time (time)
Until you find find find (find)
That I’m done crying (crying)
Yeah today I choose
I’m coming after you

It’s exhausting trying to understand
Attempting to comprehend is tiring
Your intentions and your master plan
Unraveling your motives and strategies
I’m running a race that I can’t win
Engaged in an unwinnable competition
Cause I’m on eggshells with every step
Walking cautiously, fearing to make a misstep
The sands of time are running low
Limited time remains
(Revolution's coming for you)
The uprising is approaching
Once they’re gone, watch this unfold
Observe the subsequent events when time expires
