The Flower Kings - Timelines lyrics

Time is a thief and timelines invisible Embedded them years in the texture of skin Slide down the timeline of youth and sobriety Pa**ing the filters of acceptance and charm All of a sudden you're rocking he cradle Born out of love for the memory spin One hand the rattle, the other a hammer Racing with time is where you can't win You can't fight time and you can't just shine on Like in big bold American style There is no facelift to cover the scars So just sit back and enjoy for a while My generation is fresh out of school My generation is close to the rim Shuffle the options of life's complications Scrambling the landmarks, still wearing it thin Trading your freedom for a lifetime achievement Sign up for life on a path that grow dim Chained to the customs and daily routines Things will be different, but God knows when You can't fight time and you can't just shine on Like in big bold American style There is no facelift to cover the scars So just sit back and enjoy for a while The ticking of time is non reversible So sit back my friend, enjoy the ride All of a sudden you're rocking he cradle Born out of love for the memory spin One hand the rattle, the other a hammer You know racing with time is where you can't win
