lyrics

This clock is old and busted
These hands they don’t keep time
They’re reeling in the lines that missed ya
They’re looking at our lives through a crystal sheet
Try to discover what it means
The happiness you felt back then
Was it all for show?
Hard not to wonder “where did I go wrong?”

I travel to the ancient past
Through fields of glass and silicone
I try to warn “It won’t come back”
But I cannot hear my own
Voice through what is etched in stone
The choices we cannot unmake
Would you take it back?
Are you so sure that we would never last?

Time traveler
You cannot write your own destiny
Unraveling the truth of who you’re supposed to be
Although you try
Nothing is ever what it seems
The things that we cannot unfeel
It ends before it starts
Are you the one or do you play the part?

Time traveler
You cannot write your own destiny
Unraveling the truth of who you’re supposed to be Although you try
Although you try
You try
