The Reaping

And now the scythe is set to reap
 Because to live's to die a million times
 And all of me that loves you
 Is writhing in pain
 Vicious circle of routine
 Love burns off like gasoline
 Time is cruel and takes its toll
 The lover's never in control
 Merely driftwood on a stream
 Yeah
 Everything must fall apart
 Ash to ash, heart after heart
 Time is cruel and takes its toll
 The lover's never in control
 Why is nothing meant to last?
 I adored you
 But now the scythe is set to reap
 Because to live's to die a million times
 And all of me that loves you
 Is writhing in pain
 We're breaking
 Oh yeah
 Breaking apart
 Time is cruel and takes its toll
 The lover's never in control
 Merely driftwood on a stream
 I loved you so
 But now the scythe is set to reap
 Because to live's to die a million times
 And all of me that loves you
 Is writhing in pain
 Oh yeah
 A part of me loved you
 I really tried
 To save it
 But I've let it die
 Everything must fall apart
 Ash to ash, heart after heart
 Time is cruel and takes its toll
 The lover's never in control
 Merely driftwood on a stream
 Everything must fall apart
 Ash to ash, heart after heart
 Time is cruel and takes its toll
 The lover's never in control
 Merely driftwood on a stream
 Everything must fall apart
 Ash to ash, heart after heart
 Time is cruel and takes its toll
 The lover's never in control
 Merely driftwood on a stream
 But now the scythe is set to reap
 Because to live's to die a million times
 And all of me that loves you
 Is writhing in pain
 Oh yeah
 A part of me loved you
 I really tried
 To save it
 But I've let it die
 You're my dearest
 My favorite shadow of the past
