Father Time

Lyrics

Tick tock tick tock and it goes by Tick tock tick tock til there's no time Til there's no time... Verse 1: It was the same dead end that it always had been I don't peak round the corners or double take at the bend Well aware of what it was and what its taken to mend And look I always speak my heart cause I'm afraid to pretend I've seen pain manifest and turn to satan again I'm just saying that's a fire I won't play with again The waterfall pounds my head and turns my temple to drums I forget my own name, where I've been, where I'm from My older memories regarded, I put em all in a slide show And try to answer questions like where the fuck does the time go? I ride past the old neighborhood and drive slow Try to comprehend that I'm 30 but see my mind's blown Times a powerful thing Experiences flood your life with every hour it brings But I still can't hum the tune of what a flower would sing Itd probably harmonize with rain and the shower of kings I had to pull it back a second, just to hone in the minutes If I said that I would do it then most likely I did it Broken promises I know won't be acquitted I carry them around and let them pay me a visit I'm in the middle of the trees with the soul of a hawk Trying to figure if I'm happy if I know what I want Its not enough just to know what Ive got If I don't manifest the future there's a hole in the plot Tick tock tick tock and it goes by Tick tock tick tock til there's no time Til there's no time... Verse 2: I'm low energy, low cost, Im low key These old memories sworn off but won't leave I'm in a pickle with a saint Cause my innocence dripped off and trickled in the drain It's life or death, playing chicken with a train And I think I saw a crow come to pick at my remains The paradigm shift switches in my brain But I know I swim quicker than a fish in the rain Tryna figure what it is, or what I didn't contain The human vessel as a soul that they didn't explain I put it all in poetry and hope for the best Some relief for all the grief I can't keep in my chest I barely let myself cry, but I let myself rest And I don't compete with people who don't have an ounce of depth In terms of self respect, that's the journey I'm In I won't be treated like shit and let you hurt me again I still feel all of the scars when they're burning again And If I slip the fuck up, I'll get to learning again So many lessons evolving into eternity Plus so many blessings I recall with such a certainty My life changed the second I had the words to speak Finally connected with the person I had heard in me And did it with such an urgency (Why?) Cause father Time is tryna murder me Tick tock tick tock and it goes by Tick tock tick tock til there's no time Til there's no time...
