IT'S TOO LATE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

if you stare in the abyss
the abyss is staring back
there's a crack in the world
and you become the crack

hold a mirror up to God
and you will see yourself
if you look into your heart
the Christ is someone else

if you fly up to the sun
your wings will melt away
if the jury looks at you
you forget what you should say

there are bullets all around you
but you left your gun at home
you walk to the wedding altar
but you're standing there alone

it's too late
it's too late
it's too late to trust to fate
or wait a moment longer
for the whale to take the bait

it's too late
it's too late
to play another card
I hate to tell you buddy
I knew you'd take it hard

if you look into my eyes
you will see nobody there
I was just electrocuted
in my own electric chair

you know there has to come a moment
when you just run out of time
when the only true detective
has to organize the crime

but you're strong and you are young
and not as dumb as you look
you don't have to go and starve
you can still learn how to cook

but expect nothing from me
cause there's nothing left to get
I am only worth the effort
to remember to forget

it's too late
it's too late
it's too late to trust to fate
or wait a moment longer
for the whale to take the bait

it's too late
it's too late
to play another card
I hate to tell you buddy
I knew you'd take it hard
