lyrics
time like waves on a beach
it’s the year of the virus the age of the thief
still the only time he gazed at defeat
he was shaking his head as it laid at his feet
his heartbeat plays on repeat
as the clock tick tocks off the days into weeks
his thoughts stay vague and discreet
but the years on his face he displays to the streets
all the dandelions raise from their seats when he speaks
even ghosts start to hang up their sheets
he tries to practice what he patiently preached
as the decades pervade, he’s a vein to a leech
every moment just food for the feast
every molecule moves to the beat
he only ever keeps the truth in his teeth
cuz the wisdom is worth all the youth it depletes
if we are all magic
then what has become
of love -lost its tragic
can fate come undone
is there but one
an all-knowing sun
unending passion
in every photon
no one will wait for you
no promise in time
indiscriminate thief
no stop no rewind
when one is to leave
your soul to bereave
forever we weave
broken threads
to achieve
some symphony brilliantly begging infinity
entrusting divinity’s willful epiphany
silently imagery auspiciously came to me
mysterious alchemy graciously free
time like thoughts fly away
its the year of forgetting
the age of dismay
still the only time she feigned a retreat
she was making amends, an abyss on repeat
her heartbeat sings bittersweet its relentless devotion
to that which it keeps
the waves stay the clock of the sea
as the years disappear effortlessly
all the aspirations fade to the void
but the truth of the moment is never destroyed
she holds space for forever to ends
when the sun like black hole we implode and transcend
every star seed here with a vision
every sorcerers premonition
we only want to keep the notion alive
that though we are leaving we may never arrive
