Time

**Time 

*The clock, it melts, drips like rain,*  

*Tick tock, but it’s all the same.*  

*The colors twist, they fold away,*  

*Tomorrow's dream becomes today.*  

*Running still, though stuck I stand,*  

*The world slips through my open hands.*

*(pause, soft strumming)*

*Tick, tock, the clocks all hum,*  

*The hours drip like honey, numb.*  

*I’ve lost my way, but that’s okay,*  

*Time’s a shadow that won’t stay.*

*(guitar builds, scattered notes)*

**(Chorus)**  

*Hands chase hands, round they spin,*  

*Circling back to where I’ve been.*  

*Faces fade, the light grows thin,*  

*Lost between where it begins.*

*(pause, slow echoing riff)*

*Echoes laugh, they call me back,*  

*Down the winding, painted track.*  

*The sun is sinking, clocks unwind,*  

*Moments spill and blur in time.*

**(Bridge)**  

*Close my eyes, the days slip by,*  

*I see the years in colors fly.*  

*A rainbow clock, it chimes and sings,*  

*But what it means, it never brings.*

*(soft, dreamy instrumental break)*

**(Chorus)**  

*Tick tock, and there I go,*  

*In and out, to and fro.*  

*I hold it close, it slips away,*  

*And time's a dream that fades to gray.*

*(soft, fading outro)*  

*Oh, time… you never stay…*

**Time (Reprise)**

*Breathe in the moments, let them flow,*  

*Time's a river, and we drift slow.*  

*In the shadows, where echoes play,*  

*Tomorrow’s dream slips away.*

*(soft strum, pause)*

*Hold onto nothing, let it be,*  

*Time’s a whisper, soft as the sea.*  

*Fleeting shadows dance in the light,*  

*Everything fades into the night.*

*(gentle guitar melody)*

*Breathe out the clock, let the stillness grow,*  

*Time is a friend, but it moves too slow.*  

*Caught in the current, lost in the sky,*  

*Breathe in the world, as it drifts by.*

*(soft fade-out)*
