Lyrics
Keep 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.
the future we will wear
is cut into fine new lines
some stick and
some flow
some align
side by side
we're past our sense
past the consequences
we're past the fear
we're through the mirror
we project a win
we protect our skin
an eye on fate
like any good nation
we
keep breathing
keep feeling
keep time
keep your mind
don't give a fuck
about what we say
long as we
keep time and
keep mind
the future we will wear
is cut into fine new cloth
some work and
some walk in a circle
some align
side by side
we're past our sense
past the consequences
we're not paranoid
i don't think
we're paranoid
we project a win
we protect our skin
no worry for us
we sing in a chorus
and
keep breathing
keep feeling
keep time
keep your mind
don't give a fuck
about what we say
long as you
keep time and
keep mind
so let the dawn take
us there to break it
so we can slow it
so we can soak it in
check the ground
check the sound
erase the sun and
brace for a new one
