Time and Distance Lyrics

What is broken can be fixed they say
But I don't think it really works that way
And I don't need another lesson learned
When you get too close you know that you're gonna get burned

I don't think you've seen the best of me
You say I always shake the hand that feeds
I'm out of here there's nothing you can do
'cause I feel like a drowning fly in a rich man's soup

It's gonna take time and distance
Lies, denial and resistance
Time and distance
I need all the assistance I can find
To get it off my mind

I don't wanna see the bitter end
I just don't have that much time to spend
I can't stay life is too short
I'm still going somewhere and you're not

It's gonna take time and distance
Lies, denial and resistance
Time and distance
I need all the assistance I can find
To get it off my mind

I've seen the empire fall like a rotten fruit.
I'm outta here it's time for new recruits
And I don't need another lesson learned
When you get that close you know that you're gonna get burned

It's gonna take time and distance
Lies, denial and resistance
Time and distance
I need all the assistance I can...
Time and distance
Lies, denial and resistance
Time and distance
I need all the existence I can find
To get it off my mind
