Borrowed Time
by
Daniel Bradbury
Given the chance to be seen as you are
Would you change what you've been and pretend you're static?
Loose leaf rebellion kept on the low
Locked up in time and all that you love
Changed for the sake of what you might be keeping
Longing for the time to search through your mind
And find all those things that cause your beauty
Nothing is true and nothing is real
Nothing is made until you've seen and thought it
We're all overcome and we're all set in awe
Smacked in the eyes by all creation
Lobbing time bombs into the heart of our minds
Living in suspense until their random eruption
Tearing apart yourself for the sake of rebuilding
Jump in for a ride
Become solace for a turmoiled justice
Change me
Lock my personality in place
Like revolution on pause
Like time in a grave yard pose
Oh, so sweet in it's tied up glory
All fucked up
A tale of chance
And fate/one on the same
Confusion, disillusion
Borrowed Time
