Hopefield – The Black Market Time lyrics

Listen closer now
Are you taking a step back from me
When I'm the fringe of your life?
Watch you sleep at night
Just to hold myself in
From a life that buys days in black market time
To keep from you

Am I the question
That begs to be paid attention to
Or starved and left to die?
I keep on hoping
To try and make something out of you
With a million reasons why

Celebrate your worth
I've been trying so hard to build
The monument that you deserve
By the time I'm through
My body will be just as obsolete
As the statue I've built
