Too Soon for so Long

Both your eyes are opening
You'll see me first of anything
Take a little time before you speak to me
I know the next thing you will say
Is from a place of honesty
Try to show a little bit of empathy

If what you want is a war
I'll be the same annoying asshole that I was before
I know time is running short
Please take this closing argument for what it's worth

What's the price of better news?
Or some time to think things through?
Take all blame for myself and accept every bit of abuse
Too soon for so long

Out and far away again
Everything seems dissonant
With the added feeling of finality
I know you can't believe I'd say something so absurd as the truth
Though you knew it anyway

What's done and what's gone
Is the definition of what it's become
What was right?
What was wrong?
Never really mattered much to anyone

What's the price of better news?
Or some time to think things through?
Take all blame for myself and accept every bit of abuse
Too soon for so long
