Time, Time - Typhoon

Time o intangible time

Moving through everything

Leave me behind

Always changing the tempo

You keep cutting in line

While the clock hands spin around like pinwheels

The present dangling high on the vine

It takes a whole lifetime simply to arrive

Now I’m scared just to turn around

Afraid that I’ll find that the killer is right behind me

Time o unfaltering time

You’re as thin as a shadow

As a persimmon rind

But who’s clinging to whom?

I waited up all night

You know where you can find me

I was an infant then I doubled in size

A Russian doll former selves nesting inside

At the center is nothing or a black hole resides

No light can be seen escaping

Time o unanswerable time

Yeah you’ve seen the future

You know the way that I die

But don’t tell me

I’d rather it be a surprise

When you come crashing the party

Time inexorable time

You were moving in circles

I was drawing a line

You inhabit my body

For as long as you like

We both know you’re leaving here without me
