Lyrics:

Can’t you see?
Time isn’t of the essence
You can’t measure love or lessons with hours, minutes, days or seconds – No
Life cannot be told by time
What’s infinite will never die
and life goes on while we’re not keeping time
So it’s time for time to die

Verse
Minute that I feel this beat
Minute that I feel the need
Minute that I need to hustle
Minute that I need to speak
Minute that we let this start
Minute that I feel my heart
Minute that that you’re feeling me is the minute that we get to spark
Minute that your feeling Lesson
Minute that I feel respect
Minute that we get connected is the minute that we’re feeling blessed

60 minutes – tick
They consistently kill us – tick
The minutes diminish they pillage the villager’s will and their pillars of hope – tick
I never got into that rope – tick
I never got into that boat – tick
I mentally ever got better and never let enemies get in my road – tick
A lie
The truth is I just died a million times
but in my mind I let the devil stay disguised in god’s design Tick, tick, tick
Emotional moments
alone with my only a opponent
just the ghost of me
I’m close to imploding
supposed to be focussed
so I spray my own cologne for atonement
and hope it exposes
the road that I’ve chosen – Moses

Because the truth is I’ll survive
when my gods and my devils shake hands and toast to life When my angels and my demons love each other through my eyes and we never bow down to the father they’ve called time

Chorus

Verse 2
Hours that I spent alone wishing for my time to go
Hours I spent on the road hoping on a sign for home
Hours I spent trapped in thought
Who I could be
Who I was
What’s my mission? What’s my cause?
Power taken – hours lost
Hours I spent on my mission wishing on my time to glisten Hours I spent in conscription fighting for the right inscription
Sixty minutes -tick
But time is infinite – tick
The ticks don’t even mean shit
its kind of ridiculous
the way that we fit to this, dissidents bliss in the release from this prison
They say that we’re killing time
but time is killing us
and she never be leaving no witnessness
We grow old
but the older the better
the colder the weather the better we learn to whether the storm and hold it together
Never being hand-cuffed by a clock on my wrist
and I will never be addicted to watching the watches and clicks
They say time is of the essence
but that essence is us
Sunrise, sunset
that’s all we need – that’s enough
We time our whole lives to a paradigm we don’t trust
we don’t realise that that paradigm was designed by us
And the word ‘clock’ comes from the french word for ‘bell’ When will the bell toll for time?
I guess only time can tell

Chorus

Verse 3
Now that I have changed my life
Now I have made it right
Now I can play the dice
Now just in case I die
Now not the the past or future
Now I see past illusion
Now I don’t cast assumptions
Now I only see solutions
Now I’m a present man
The only gift I understand is the present of the present
Only now is the time at hand
No more minutes tick
no more hours called a day
no more years taking months
taking weeks
taking my faith
Let’s go back to the basics:
The earth revolves with the moon
the sun joins the two gravity makes it smooth
Oceans rise and fall
Babies learn to crawl
Winter, spring summer fall
Seasons change – so do we all
Poets record it all
People die and are kings
Messiahs to fiends
In the silence I dream
that if Christ knew his life would mean we’d count every second and his death marked the start he’d discount it in a second
Every culture in the world had its sense of time
The West erected Big Ben like its sense was mine
Time for the rest to connect and question why
The truth’s in the moment
the rest is memories
and lies

Chorus
