time (a dream deferred) Lyrics by redveil
Are we out of time?
Time, time, time, time
Time, time, time, time
Time, time, time, time
Are we out of time? Time
Walked to the edge with my eyes closed
All my inhibitions in a whole different time zone
I could take one step so easily
I just be grave limping cold on a drive home
But is that so bad?
Put my body in a Sprinter van, don’t drive too fast
We’re supposed to wake up, a plane, terminal five
But they could use a hologram while they bump me and cry, ***
Is that so bad?
Is that so bad?
A dream deferred, right along with the ugliest fate
I leave now and I ain’t do so bad
So I chuck my deuce, refuse it, die slow, here’s my jewels
Put my dust in a Hydro Flask
Magic, I go poof
Right now, ***, this my truth
My feet whisper to me, “Not so fast”
It told me call my roots
So I call my roots, damn
Pick up the phone, I need you now
Pick up the phone, I need you now
Pick up the phone, I need you
Now
Pick it up
Mama, mama, am I out of time?
Let me know right now
Mama, am I out of time?
I just wanna turn around
