Lyrics Buying Time - Laura Jansen

We got our hand in the sand
We got our eye on the prize
We got the whole world spinning in the palm of our hands
We distract ourselves with all of our lies
We wake up in the machine, moving up to the top floor
We got a front-row view of the damage we can do
And it burns our eyes but we only want more

We know it's ending, just a matter of time
We know it's coming somewhere down the line
We're just waiting, we're just waiting
Buying timе
There's no escaping, just a mattеr of time
We can see it if we read the sign
We're just waiting, we're just waiting
Buying time

We got our heads in the clouds again
And we're not coming down
The air's getting thin and it's making us high
Until we get a hit of what comes around
We got to feed the machine, keep it up or it eats you
'Cause it's hot for your money, hot for your sex
Hot for the grief, for the winning but it's never enough

We know it's ending, just a matter of time
We know it's coming somewhere down the line
We're just waiting, we're just waiting
Buying time
There's no escaping, just a matter of time
We can see it if we read the sign
We're just waiting, we're just waiting
Buying time

It pulls you down until you're on your knees
I'm getting tired, can you make it stop?
Can you make it stop?
Can you make it stop, please?

We know it's ending, just a matter of time
We know it's coming somewhere down the line
We're just waiting, we're just waiting
Buying time
There's no escaping, just a matter of time
We can see it if we read the sign
We're just waiting, we're just waiting
Buying time
