Thief - The Echoing Green

Turn of events

Where seconds give way to moments

In my mind I lose these faces

Forget these places

Try to find some traces of me

Time is an unseen thief

It steals my thoughts and memories from me

I’m left behind with this apathy so tempting

Where minutes don’t seem so kind

I find that…

Time comes, and I don’t matter

Time numbs, and dreams lay shattered

I stand, and time just passes me by

While the clock on the wall is racing

I fight for shreds of feeling

Inside, time keeps stealing mine

A dreamless dance

Where instance defies existence

In this life we feel confined

We fall behind

To the rhythem of the endless design

Time is a clock in the heart

The seconds pass before they can start

I’m torn apart with this apathy, so empty

Where seconds seem so unkind

I find that…

Time comes, and I don’t matter

Time numbs, and dreams lay shattered

I stand, and time just passes me by

While the clock on the wall entraps me

I fight for shreds of feeling

Inside time keeps stealing mine

Time comes

(do I fight against time or a state of mind?)

Time numbs

(when everything’s fine in my paradigm)

Time comes

(do I fight against time or a state of mind?)

Time numbs

(when everything’s fine in my paradigm)

Time comes

(time never starts and it never ends)

Time numbs

(do I fight against time or do I make amends?)

Time comes, and it won’t matter

Time numbs, and dreams lay shattered

I stand, and time just passes me by

While the clock on the wall is raging

I find peace while kneeling

This night I’m just stealing time
