Paid In Full

They say regret’s the only currency
When you’re old
Every deed paid in full
I never thought I’d be the one
To break the bank
While still so young

I count each fool mistake
I felt so sick inside
This fragile world can break
If you just stand aside
You’re in a 3-d movie
Hands thrust in front of your face
Dark fingers probing through me
Wrapped up in yellow tape

When the clock strikes dead you can lead me out of here

They say that death’s the only remedy
When you’re old
Every deed paid in full
I never thought I’d be the one
To leave this place
Feeling so cold

Behind these gates of steel
I try so hard to feel
Something but pain and sorrow
Don’t think about tomorrow
Because when the piece is said
They’ll strap me in the bed
With leaden hearts and fingers
Until no sensation lingers

Oh, there’s no more time for me
I’m already paid in full

When the clock strikes dead
You can lead me out of here
