Frameworks - Splinters lyrics

Time is a new splinter buried deep in the opposable thumb Finding new ways drive itself further Making you feel grimly aware the more you touch I keep thinking the body will reject it out Find a new way to calcify t down Alternative means to grinding teeth Loosely kept terms only here to make you feel more or less alive Redefining what it means to survive Time is a conceptual straight jacket confining you to moments you wished to forget I want a future and past to forget To live and die, a stand-in-line instant validation A few brief moments, a few pure moments of gold Everything you didn't notice made you what you are today A foundation braced to break the backs A product of everything you lacked You stand up straight, poised and posed, straight in line, splinter exposed Waiting on a validation, or further inclination that makes you feel better prepared
