Father Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I take a trip by myself here, write my name in the sky
Hang from the stars, I dance on clouds and watch the world pass me by
It's my escape from the dread that we all face everyday
We call it life but in the end we're all just dust in the grave
It's soundin' bleak, yeah, guess that's just the way it is
I can't fall asleep so I lay here and I'll face it now
I'm comin' undone, fallin' endlessly in space again
Maybe I can find the will to finally find some faith again
(Faith again)
Dug three feet but I backed out 'cause I cashed out
But it doesn't really make me proud
I been feelin' way too alone, no
But I don't know how I can really make it show
Tick-tick-tick-tick, father time is right on my heels
I'm probably way too far gone, I don't think that I can be healed
(I can be healed)
Trapped in my skin, but I pretend everything's great
(Everything's great)
The rain pours, I feel the pain more used to wash it all away
But it sticks around my vision now goes dark, I can't feel
(I can't feel)
Anything but misery, my soul, I can't heal
So father time, hold back tonight
My tired eyes won't last this time
I'd tell you save my soul, but there's no one to be saved
So bring me flowers by the hour while I'm digging my grave
To the ones that mean the most I hope I showed you your worth
'Cause I can't take another second on this desolate earth
I take a trip by myself here, write my name in the sky
Hang from the stars, I dance on clouds and watch the world pass me by
It's my escape from the dread that we all face everyday
We call it life but in the end we're all just dust in the grave
It's soundin' bleak, yeah, guess that's just the way it is
I can't fall asleep so I lay here and I'll face it now
I'm comin' undone, fallin' endlessly in space again
Maybe I can find the will to finally find some faith again
So father time, hold back tonight
My tired eyes won't last this time
