Tripping Through Time
(M. Lane, J. Nichols, D. Van Ry)

All that is, all that was
Fades away, becomes the way
Who are you and who was I?
Just wisps of haze passing through the sky

Our trip through time, fallen down
Becomes more lost and lesser found
Sullen schemes and broken dreams
Deafened by life’s silent screams

I took a turn and now it’s
Like vertigo and split lips
No time to celebrate these
Fucking mistakes we’re making

Been here before but
Can’t find my way out
My face shows lies unspoken
This mirror must be broken

Mellow down, lose the crown
It’s no longer in charge of you
Lose the way, forget the day
Life on pause, longing to play

Quiet down all the sound
Minds grip tied up and cruelly bound
One more slip, held down and whipped
Just to remind you that you’re losing it

I took a turn and now it’s
Like vertigo and split lips
No time to celebrate these
Fucking mistakes we’re making

Been here before but
Can’t find my way out
My face shows lies unspoken
This mirror must be broken

The time has changed me
All these moments I’ve wasted
Stumbling through what’s easy
The time has changed me

The time has…

Has come to tear me down
Has come to wear me out
Has come to wear me out

I wonder why
I wonder how
I wonder when these broken dreams
Will nail me to the ground

…will nail me to the ground…

I took a turn and now it’s
Like vertigo and split lips
No time to celebrate these
Fucking mistakes we’re making

Been here before but
Can’t find my way out
My face shows lies unspoken
This mirror must be broken

The time has changed me
All these moments I’ve wasted
Stumbling through what’s easy
The time has changed me

The time has come
