Second-Hand Time Songtext
von murphhh

Take your time
Keep it in a bottle
When the ship starts to decay
Time and tide and life will slide away

The weight of passage of time wearing down on you
But under pressure the sand in the timer becomes glass too

Minute or month, who can tell from this distance
In time we′ll all come to hate
The force that withers the weekdays
Blinked and missed eternity in an instant
Think of the comforts you can save
Come close and twist the threads of fate

Take your time
Keep it in a bottle
When the ship starts to decay
Time and tide and life will slide away


Calloused fingers on your clock's hands
Immortal thoughts meant for trying
To think it meant never dying

Moving unwillingly at nature′s command
Empires built fall on the sand
Castles held by unseen hands

There's no rewinding, only fast forward
At night asking for seconds
Tides form horizon's beckons

The past you remembered was hanged, drawn and quartered
Styx shores, can′t wait to set sail
Turn tides, universal scale

Take your time (take your time)
Keep it in a bottle
When the ship starts to decay (the ship starts to decay)
Time and tide and life will slide away

Tick Tock, Tick Tock
Tick Tock, Tick Tock
Tick Tock, Tock Tick
Tick Tock, Tick Tock


Take your time
Take your time
