Lyrics
(Verse 1) (Strong electric guitar) A flicker in the hallway light A shadow stretching through the door I’m reaching for the ghost of night can’t find the rhythm anymore The clock is ticking backwards now (steady drums) The gears are rusted, stripped, and thin I’m tracing every then and now the fraying mist, edged out-in It’s a long way down this silver line Tangled in the mess of "once upon a time" (Fiery solo) (minimal music) Caught inside a time-lapsed thread Pulling the words we never said Watching the decades blur to gray As the moment slips and spins away The more I hold, the more it breaks Hungry for the pull it takes To keep from drifting overhead Lost inside a time-lapsed thread (Soaring vocals) The seasons flash like lurid signs Summer’s gone before, rain can fall refugees outlaw, however fine their stories bleed through the city wall The faces change, the voices fade But the needle’s stuck inside the hay I’m living in the choice we made With nothing left for us to say (Epic drop, piano pulses) Caught inside a time-lapsed thread Pulling the words we never said Watching the decades blur to gray As the moment slips and spins away The more I hold, the more it breaks The more i lose, the more it takes The more i drift, the more it led Lost inside a time-lapsed thread (Bridge) (Guitar solo - Explosion) The tension snaps, the spiral ends I’m falling through the seams again Don't let it go, don't let it go... But slack the ropes, and let it end (Guitar Outro) (Heavy drums, fading into a single acoustic strum) Time-lapsed... Just a thread... knotting the neck... Until I'm dead.
