LYRICS:

How much could be given away just to escape
For one second, one minute 
One inhibition too late 
 
Proceed with caution from my opening remarks, close to the heart 
I grow with every motion I chart, thrown from the farthest reaches 
My sentences long but only when my thoughts go deeper 
Past this facade that goes up as the costs get steeper
In between actual flaws and products of commodified lesions 
I ask myself if this is all a result of a long game of defense 
Knowing what the answer was all along just not wanting to see it 
Cause I don’t bother or reason with questions of what we are or we’re not
True colors aren’t part and parcel when these days and these weeks won’t stop 
So don’t tell me about time 
When time is all that we’ve got 
I sell my time by the piece count and take the receipt from the clock
No regrets or uneasiness but I can’t believe what I watched  

How much thought could be given away just to escape
For one second, one minute 
One inhibition too late 

Wish I would’ve known not to pass and go visit your grave 
Cause since I went home shit just isn’t the same 

And it might not be such a bad idea if I stayed and watched time wither away from this  riverbank 
Sitting in the shade with Kuskokwim driftwood fixating on memories as distant as the range
Tryna strip this contention I face 
Before anymore history’s made 
Time in its finality this withering age 
Nothing position-less, saving what’s finished to renovate 
Saving what’s finished to renovate
