[Verse 1]
At times it's a struggle to forget
At others, it spills right out of my head
These antics so grotesque and alive
Ling an image, a mid-fall swan dive

[Chorus]
It lingers on, by in waves
Broken hours alleviate
Dying figures, they settle in
Broken hours
It lingers on

[Verse 2]
By the harrow, we were taught to beset
We shoved through the ground
Like marbles jumping in roulette
Pick a number, we haven't much time
Choose your losers, go stand them in line

[Chorus]
It lingers on, by in waves
Broken hours accelerate
Dying figures, they settle in
Broken hours
It lingers on
