[Intro]
When death isn't literally knocking at your door today
But is coming closer
Kind of hanging out in the backyard
It focuses us on life
And the people and the aspects of life that matter most
[Verse 1]
Mean looks, no knight for rooks, strike open the books
Burning candles on the mantle
Discuss you, situations will stab you
Percussion of mutations will ail you
[?]
[?]
Hit corners on the room, ancient architect
Designed the best [?]
The deeds deserve it, it leaves deserted
POW these beats become blood
A bomb that hits some and causes others to run
Shameless, aimless
No direction mass grave
Insurrection, failed state
TVs glow in the dark while you ponder
[?]
Sipping [?] by the fire
A reflection of times you can tell they admire
The script opens to what's to transpire
[?] and poker, dry logs and wonder
Silent gleam and the night is clean
The airs steam like you came back with a time machine
Do damage to the room, crack the sentence
Mutual essece, singular ending
Ain't no frenzy, but on sees the weak empty
On of the two brews is deadly
Friendly but heady
No safety or steady
Except it's dependent if the odds worth defending
When that flame burns out you choose a glass
When the [?] dead that sips your last
A slow craft that could be snubbed fast
I know where he's buried just don't ask
All things must pass, a couple doesn't last all day
Some are simply meant to find their way
In the morning sunrise brighten the room, nothing to say
Passion must be free of decay
[Outro]
I remember talking to two sisters that lived together
And they were talking about having lost many friends
And I was saying but there's a lot of people around
One of them looked at me and said "we just don't have time"
And my first thought was what are you doing all day
And I realized that she wasn't talking about the time in the day
She was talking about time left in life
At some point in life we're never going to make a new old friend
Because there isn't time
Because there isn't time
Because there isn't time
