SAW

They'll use a saw to cut through your breastbone
They'll take a jack and break your ribs apart
Ah but there never was a weakness
In the muscles working ceasless
Strength was not the problem with your heart

The problem was time
The blood of your life passing by
When will you take time

They said your heart
Always was strong enough
To do the work it was made to do
And this attack you underwent
Was from a lack of nourishment
Your heart was starving for the blood it gave to you

Your heart is dying for the life you're pushing through

The problem was time
The blood of your life passing by
When will you take time

You had a place a house in the neighborhood
It was ok, but still you dreamed of more
More than the lives that grew around you
More than the friends that finally found you
There was a grander life that you were working for

So it's like you carry all the water on a long desert trip
And then you die of dehydration when you never take a sip

The problem was time
The blood of your life passing by
When will you take time
