I breathe in, the room breathes out
Underneath the sun and dust, so much I loved
To keep a sliver, even slight
I sent in the paperwork but time stamped it denied
A second takes just half the time
This isn’t as it was advertised
A minute please if you’d be so kind
I’m passing at the speed of light
Bleached in the sun, toe to crown
Heat-washed smiles before they went in the ground
May’s lanterns, parades in July
Fireflies awash in the wind, a dozen a dime
It was just so delicate, I think I could cry
It was just so perfect, I think I could die
A second takes just half the time
this isn’t as it was advertised
A minute please if you’d be so kind
I’m passing at the speed of light
A second takes just half the time
(Eternity in a moment)
This isn’t as it was advertised
(In a moment it’s all over)
A minute please if you’d be so kind
(I just can’t look forward)
I’m passing at the speed of light
(In a tableau of my room)
Everything is quieter
(Bleached in the sun)
Everywhere where I stand
(Parades in July)
Every shape seems much stranger
(Fireflies awash)
Than their form commands
(I felt so alive)
I’ll hold every second
(Bleached in the sun)
with both of my hands
(Parades in July)
I’ll say it a thousand times but
(Fireflies awash)
I won’t understand
(I think i could-)
