lyrics
We don’t feel
We don’t feel it as it passes by
Innocent point in time
So goes our entire lives
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
In the worthless pursuit of a day’s wage
Whenever, whenever I close my eyes
The wheel accelerates
If I change my frame of mind and buy some time
Open your eyes
I’m reaching for this moment
For this moment
Frozen in the flow
Where one could say a life achieved
Like our fathers had known
Had never known
Had fucking never known, never known
As it comes back into focus I realize
Each falling grain of sand
Carries a terrible precious weight
Falling faster from my hands
I wish we’d noticed sooner
That the world was starting to spin faster
That our time had been getting shorter
That we were placed in a race without the grace to get a fucking shot
I’m reaching for this moment
For this moment
Frozen in the flow
Where one could say a life achieved
Like our fathers had known
Now I’m gunna push back
I’m going to strangle every second
Going to strangle every hour, every day, and say:
We made our way with our own two hands
We’ll never waste our time again
We don’t feel it as it passes by
Innocent point in time
So goes our entire lives
Seconds, minutes, hours, days
In the worthless pursuit of a day’s wage
Whenever, whenever I close my eyes
The wheel accelerates
If I change my frame of mind and buy some time
Open your eyes
I’m reaching for this moment
For this moment
Frozen in the flow
Where one could say a life achieved
Like our fathers had known
Had never known
Had fucking never known, never known
As it comes back into focus I realize
Each falling grain of sand
Carries a terrible precious weight
Falling faster from my hands
I wish we’d noticed sooner
That the world was starting to spin faster
That our time had been getting shorter
That we were placed in a race without the grace to get a fucking shot
I’m reaching for this moment
For this moment
Frozen in the flow
Where one could say a life achieved
Like our fathers had known
Now I’m gunna push back
I’m going to strangle every second
Going to strangle every hour, every day, and say:
We made our way with our own two hands
We’ll never waste our time again
