Lyrics:

The time has come to speak of many things
Of jacks and queens and kings, ah
I bared my wrists and promised to begin
But you cut the blade straight in, ah
Try hard, my love, do you hear the distant strings?
Please remember what this means, ah

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
We should not have begun, ah
At last I felt a numbness overcome
And now you turn and run, ah
The time has come to take me in your arms
And touch these fragile scars, ah!

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, ah
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
