TIME'S FAKE

(アルバム： ENDLESS HALLWAY - 2022)

Maybe you could shoot a little shade my way
You can stand the sun, man, and I can't take the pain
Let me share a secret shackled to my shame
Spread around some sea shells I know you're sure to break
Thick as thieves and cut the same
I'm waiting in the eaves for you to say my name
Did I miss my cue or are these waiting games

I've been knocking, been begging, been pleading tonight
I've been scratching, been kicking, been screaming in my head oh
Sooner or later you will let me in
I've been calling, been gnawing, been feeding tonight
I've been sweating, can't wrestle with a reason to fight
And I know, sooner or later you will let me in
You gotta let me in

If you leave me out here there will be shadow play
I can't be held responsible for what I might say
My words a magic wand splinters and sparks fly
And if you act irresponsibly you'll lose an eye
I can't promise you the day
Eternity will tighten all the time in space
But at least you'll always have that pretty face

I've been knocking, been begging, been pleading tonight
I've been scratching, been kicking, been screaming in my head oh
Sooner or later you will let me in
I've been calling, been gnawing, been feeding tonight
I've been sweating, can't wrestle with a reason to fight
And I know, sooner or later you will let me in
You gotta let me in
You gotta let me in

Now I hope that every bump and creak that brings you fear
Is actually some cursed creature, breathing close, and drawing near
Now I would have kept us safe, beneath my wings we'd stay
But you knew it was getting late, or early, whatever, time's fake

I've been knocking, been begging, been pleading tonight
I've been scratching, been kicking, been screaming in my head oh
Sooner or later you will let me in
I've been calling, been gnawing, been feeding tonight
I've been sweating, can't wrestle with a reason to fight
And I know, sooner or later you will let me in
You gotta let me in
You gotta let me in
You gotta let me in
