Time, Time

(앨범: Sympathetic Magic - 2021)

Time o intangible time
Moving through everything
Leave me behind
Always changing the tempo
You keep cutting in line
While the clock hands spin around like pinwheels

The present dangling high on the vine
It takes a whole lifetime simply to arrive
Now I'm scared just to turn around
Afraid that I'll find that the killer is right behind me

Time o unfaltering time
You're as thin as a shadow
As a persimmon rind
But who's clinging to whom?
I waited up all night
You know where you can find me

I was an infant then I doubled in size
A Russian doll former selves nesting inside
At the center is nothing or a black hole resides
No light can be seen escaping

Time o unanswerable time
Yeah you've seen the future
You know the way that I die
But don't tell me
I'd rather it be a surprise
When you come crashing the party

Time inexorable time
You were moving in circles
I was drawing a line
You inhabit my body
For as long as you like
We both know you're leaving here without me
