Time Slips

[Verse 1] Oh let’s seize the night Though no matter how hard I seem to try Time slips just the very same Through an open hand or a fist clenched So I dance around a tune as the cosmos will me to The future’s path is paved, we’re all just watching it all play out Why is enough never enough to push that little button in the back of my brain? [Bridge] Time waits in the wings in Between an action and inaction Counting tree rings on a crafted wooden chair How does one still exist when no one remembers? Looks towards a cold, slouched moon moving tides on a planеt face And sigh [Verse 2] Oh let’s seizе the night Though no matter how hard I seem to try Time slips just the very same I always knew the moths would come and chew their way through the loose ends Sedimentation, the blow’s coming around the bend Static on a screen, it whispers to the spores seismically Bury me sound asleep, the mounds of moss keep me in good company
