lyrics

Time is the movie in which we play minor roles
Time ticks and time tricks us with the illusion of eternity
Time waits like a wolf at the door

Time flows from us like water, blows through us like a breeze
Time takes a silhouette and puts it in your mind
Time takes a sweet regret
and leaves it somewhere you can’t find
Time never sleeps, but always dreams
Time is a lifelong joke with a killer punchline

Have you got enough time?

Time ticks another tock
And makes a new tomorrow
Til the clock slips another cog
And the time you’re on is borrowed

Time takes the witnesses who shared your story
Time is now
We ride it out of the past and into the future
Time grinds diamonds into sand
and that sand fills another hour glass
Time is a roulette wheel on which we bet until we’re broke.

Have you got enough time?

Time ticks another tock
And makes a new tomorrow
Til the clock slips another cog
And the time you’re on is borrowed
Time drips another drop
The seconds seem to linger
As the sand from the hour glass
Is running through your fingers

Time is neither linear nor real
Time is the God without whom nothing exists
Time is what everything takes
But in the end, time takes everything

Time turns new with second hand
Time despises the constant grovelling of clocks

Time ticks another tock
And makes a new tomorrow
Till the clock slips another cog
And the time you’re on is borrowed
Time drips another drop.
The seconds seem to linger
As the sand from the hour glass
Is running through your fingers
