Father Time

Tick tock tick tock and it goes by
Tick tock tick tock til there's no time
Til there's no time...

Verse 1:

It was the same dead end that it always had been
I don’t peak round the corners or double take at the bend
Well aware of what it was and what its taken to mend
And look I always speak my heart cause I’m afraid to pretend
I’ve seen pain manifest and turn to satan again
I’m just saying that’s a fire I won’t play with again
The waterfall pounds my head and turns my temple to drums
I forget my own name, where I’ve been, where I’m from
My older memories regarded, I put em all in a slide show
And try to answer questions like where the fuck does the time go?
I ride past the old neighborhood and drive slow
Try to comprehend that I’m 30 but see my mind’s blown
Times a powerful thing
Experiences flood your life with every hour it brings
But I still can’t hum the tune of what a flower would sing
Itd probably harmonize with rain and the shower of kings
I had to pull it back a second, just to hone in the minutes
If I said that I would do it then most likely I did it
Broken promises I know won’t be acquitted
I carry them around and let them pay me a visit
I’m in the middle of the trees with the soul of a hawk
Trying to figure if I’m happy if I know what I want
Its not enough just to know what Ive got
If I don’t manifest the future there’s a hole in the plot

Tick tock tick tock and it goes by
Tick tock tick tock til there's no time
Til there's no time...

Verse 2:

I’m low energy, low cost, Im low key
These old memories sworn off but won’t leave
I’m in a pickle with a saint
Cause my innocence dripped off and trickled in the drain
It’s life or death, playing chicken with a train
And I think I saw a crow come to pick at my remains
The paradigm shift switches in my brain
But I know I swim quicker than a fish in the rain
Tryna figure what it is, or what I didn’t contain
The human vessel as a soul that they didn’t explain
I put it all in poetry and hope for the best
Some relief for all the grief I can’t keep in my chest
I barely let myself cry, but I let myself rest
And I don’t compete with people who don’t have an ounce of depth
In terms of self respect, that’s the journey I’m In
I won’t be treated like shit and let you hurt me again
I still feel all of the scars when they’re burning again
And If I slip the fuck up, I’ll get to learning again
So many lessons evolving into eternity
Plus so many blessings I recall with such a certainty
My life changed the second I had the words to speak
Finally connected with the person I had heard in me
And did it with such an urgency (Why?)
Cause father Time is tryna murder me

Tick tock tick tock and it goes by
Tick tock tick tock til there's no time
Til there's no time...
