lyrics
Chasing Time
Dwight Evan Young
[I see you]
Out in the rain.
Out through the window.
Invite you to stay,
Got a fire in the furnace, gotta keep me warm, keep me sane.
[I see you]
Follow my name.
Count down the hours.
Sharpen your claws.
While I’m drowning in anticipation, it’s your favorite champagne.
[I see you]
Bite at the bit.
Turn death into flowers.
And I’ve got demands,
But the mice can’t tell the cats how to run their game.
Wanting for more, I knock at his door,
And he obliges my impromptu discussion.
Grains of sand sift through digital hands,
While the mechanical man tells me what I can borrow.
As we begin he lies through a grin,
So my fate’s bound to the whims of his millennia.
Cancel my plans
Before they get off the ground,
Got a stop-watch in hand,
Shuffle my schedule around.
Well I know what I need,
But I’m still left wasting time.
It’s tempting to spend your time
Dreaming away
But while the Devil’s in the details
You’re just turning grey,
And when the Devil was chasing me,
I was chasing time.
Time flows like the rain,
Falling from fortune to trials.
And like the lightning strikes with the rain,
Time is not lacking reprisals.
And though the flowers are birthed by the rain,
Please don’t be in denial;
A bed of roses is not without pain
When a thorn is in your side.
Even if you could manage
To slow time down to a snail’s pace
It would still run laps around you.
Like a beast, he gnaws on the bones of man’s carefully laid plans,
Picking his teeth with our despair.
Like a thief, he steals euphoria, replacing it with
Freshly-ripened heartache.
Falling sand takes with both hands,
Remorseless as the vulture to the carrion.
[Tick-Tock, tumult, terror,
As the grave draws ever nearer
Time is not an object
You can own.]
Cancel my plans
Before they get off the ground,
Got a stop-watch in hand,
Shuffle my schedule around.
Well I know what I need,
But I’m still left wasting time.
It’s tempting to spend your time
Dreaming away
But while the Devil’s in the details
You’re just turning grey,
And when the Devil was chasing me,
I was chasing time.
