This is part 2 of my 12 part concept album about my year this year. Its called And We Swear That This Year Will Be Better Than The Last. Wayyy different from my usual stuff, so it was kinda hard to write. January isn't really done yet, but I'll post it up soon.
Let's let today set a tempo
for the rest of our lives
we're living at 200 beats a minute
and the world never stops spinning
Oh, where has the time gone?
All we see these days
is wars we're gonna lose
Eventually, their population will be dead
and we'll all be wondering,
Oh, where has the time gone?
It's been wasted on foggy windows
and watching incandescent screens
staying up nights and sattirical TV shows
our lives our meaningless
we don't affect anythings progress
Can you hear me cry out for distress?
How will the world change even if our ship sinks?
(I'm either gonna make this part all talking or really slow, its a convo me and my dad had)
"Think about life like this:
we're all on an escalator
and there's lines on the escalator called death
it starts at the beginning of time
and it ends at the end of the world"
"The line seems close. Oh, where has the time gone?"
It's been wasted on foggy windows
and watching incandescent screens
staying up nights and sattirical TV shows
our lives our meaningless
we don't affect anythings progress
Can you hear me cry out for distress?
How will the world change even if our ship sinks?
It's been wasted on foggy windows
and watching incandescent screens
and artists that make our hearts bleed
we don't affect anything's progress
who cares if the ship sinks?
***
I got it tonight
looks like I'm goin' nowhere.
Say goodbye to your dreams son,
she said
you're gettin' nowhere with this...
gettin' nowhere with this...
Fin.
