Time Machines Are a Waste of 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.
Time is calling, we're looking up ahead
Nothing stays hidden for long
Waking up, still losing ourselves
Regret is knocking, knocking
Did we know then, the consequences
We built our lives in the sand
Waking up, still losing ourselves
Regret is knocking, knocking
I fear the world slipping into madness
With hidden agendas each
Living for their own
In such ignorance we feign invincibility
Wake up from this illusion
See each decision for what it is
Just because it's over doesn't mean it's the end
We selfishly held the world in our hands
Now we're empty handed doing as we please
We're so forgetful, we're so forgetful
Consequence follows leaving destruction
These memories won't keep me warm
In its wake
This city's suffocating
We look to the sky for answers
With every breath we take
Our heartbeat grows stronger
Letting go of regrets
Looking forward is all we have
To keep us moving
Try to escape the moment that feels out of place
You can't, you can't erase who you've already been
