Time Is Playing Tricks On Me

(Album: Mother Tongue - 2022)

I will never be this young again
Yet, I've never been this old
Life's like that junk from "as seen on tv"
You rarely get what you've been sold
Yeah, I'm standing in the mirror trying to catch the subtle change
I got it captured in a photograph but never in real life
Isn't that phenomenon so strange?
I don't know how I got here
But I know one thing certainly

Time is playing tricks on me
Time is playing tricks on me

I'm not into doing drugs but it's like I'm on a trip
When the entire world around me's like a science fiction flick
I'll watch a futuristic movie and it doesn't feel that weird
Compared to all the chaos that's happening right here
My God, I don't know how it all works out
But I know one thing certainly

Time is playing tricks on me
Time is playing tricks on me

You're just a baby and poof then you're 80
And everything in between starts to feel hazy
5 years can really just feel like a second
But it drags like an eon if you're serving a sentence
What will they find when our time has run out?
Will VHS tapes and bottles ooze from the ground?
Will humanity sit there in the lost and found?
Waiting for someone to turn it around?

Time is playing tricks on me
Tell me how it's supposed to be
Time is playing tricks on me
Tell me how it's supposed to be
Time is playing tricks on me
Time is playing tricks on me
