lyrics

Been drowning so long
I’ve forgotten how to breathe
Is this a waking nightmare
Or just another lucid dream?
Well could you remind me exactly
What I’m doing here
All my visions of reality
Are quite unclear

Well she told me
That we had plenty of time
But the hourglass was tipped in her favor, yeah yeah
And in my back pocket I keep a time machine
Cause I have felt my days drag on
But a lifetime goes by
In the blink of an eye

I bit into the fruit
And let the juice drip down my face
After the fall I said to her
“I see thou art exact of taste”
Well sometimes it’s much better when
Temptation overtakes
But then again I’ve never felt true love
That wasn’t mixed with hate

Well she told me
That we had plenty of time
But the hourglass was tipped in her favor, yeah yeah
And in my back pocket I keep a time machine
Cause I have felt my days drag on
But a lifetime goes by
In the blink of an eye

Caught in between my existential tragedy and a soft reality you hover undefined
I have a certain Midas touch that brings pain to those around me
Turned to solid gold you dropped from the sky like all the fallen angels before you
And as you look up from hell, you wonder why we burn

{Solo – Jesse Aumiller – Tenor Saxophone}

Well she told me
That we had plenty of time
But the hourglass was tipped in her favor, yeah, yeah, yeah
And in my back pocket I keep a time machine
Cause I have felt my days drag on
But a lifetime goes by
In the blink of an eye
