The Time Has Come Lyrics - The Dresden Dolls

The time has come to speak of many things 

Of jacks and queens and kings 

I bared my wrists and promised to begin 

But you cut the blade straight in 

try hard my love do you hear the distant strings 

Please remember what this means 

did I come back for all of this? 

It seems absurd somehow... 

With one well-placed flick of the wrist 

You've really done it now... 

(all of my blind ambition left me deaf with perfect vision) 

the time has come 

For things to come undone 

That we should not have begun 

at last I felt a numbness overcome 

And now you turn and run... 

the time has come 

To take me in your arms and touch these fragile scars 

you have the choice now so decide 

If you want in or out 

There is too much left for us to try 

You can't just give up now 

the time has come 

To speak of many things 

Of jacks and queens and kings 

it took that cut to bring me back to life 

They're bleeding, they're frightened but I hold out both my hands: 

No one in the world will ever touch me there again.
