Time defect

from Persona by The Surs

lyrics

The air is sultry, just like my head
There’s something brewing and my mind is dead
Two luminous stars are looking at me
And twinkle bright, like the sparkling sea

Thunder and wind and a bursting sky
But everything‘s good, you can never deny
There’s plenty of time, like the deserts sand
It seems to be endless, but comes to an end

The daylight in my eye-face
Stings eager like a wasp
And tears the flowing fluid
And leaves me with a gap

I don’t want to leave, I have to stay
I pull at the time, but it runs away
And what is left is me and the gap
I’m broken-hearted, it feels like a trap

The only things that I have to last
Are future dreams that mirror the past
The present is gone I cannot move
The time is gone, it stopped

The daylight in my eye-face
Stings eager like a wasp
And tears the flowing fluid
And leaves me with a gap

"Veel grotere talenten ben ik de laatste jaren in Nederland niet tegengekomen" - OOR ... more
