Lyrics
PERPETUAL ALMOST
Verse 1
Seconds like grains of sand,
Exfoliating the concept of time,
Scraping meaning from the clock face,
Leaving only motion behind.
The future softens into powder,
The past dissolves in my hands,
And all that’s left between them
Is the steady fall of sand.
Pre-Chorus
I keep trying to arrive somewhere,
But it always slips away,
Like the edge of understanding
Just before it turns to gray.
Chorus
If time is just a river
Carving canyons through the land,
Then love is what remains
After the water leaves the sand.
Verse 2
Each thought a rabbit hole,
Scratching at invisible itches,
Something in me keeps spiraling,
Whispering names, those bitches.
Every realization
Just folds back into itself,
Like trying to hold together
Something breaking on the shelf.
Pre-Chorus
And I swear I almost had it,
Then it slips before I know,
Like meaning at the edges
Of a place I never go.
Chorus
If time is just a river
Carving canyons through the land,
Then love is what remains
After the water leaves the sand.
Bridge
My mind keeps drawing circles
Around truths it cannot hold,
Tracing fingerprints on water,
Watching certainty unfold.
Every answer splits in two,
Every doorway leads within,
I keep mistaking understanding
For a place I’ve never been.
And the harder that I chase it,
The less there is to find,
Until I’m standing in the silence
With sand slipping through my mind.
Final Chorus (soft)
If time is just a river
Carving canyons through the land,
Then love is what remains
After the water leaves the sand.
