History Read

The time stamp on my forehead doesn’t have enough ink

It fades a little more with every thought that I think

Soak up the minutes that drip from the clock

Hush all the ticks before they start to tock

I woke up this morning with eyelids of lead

You pulled up the blankets to cover my head

I might be dreaming, or I might be dead

My heaven is fleeting, my history read

Setting a deadline, life clove you and me

But magic might happen if I cross the C

Nothing can last, but nothing is wrong

Don’t fear the past before it comes along

I woke up this morning with eyelids of lead

You pulled up the blankets to cover my head

I might be dreaming, or I might be dead

My heaven is fleeting, my history read

Time isn’t hiding, it’s just hard to find

Ours are the hours that aren’t defined

I woke up this morning with eyelids of lead

You pulled up the blankets to cover my head

I might be dreaming, or I might be dead

My heaven is fleeting, my history read
