Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You bring theorems
He brings thumb wars
One scribbles galaxies on napkins
One eats the napkins by mistake
You quote dead languages
He mispronounces his own name
Obvious as a lighthouse
Yet my compass spins in gravy
[Pre-Chorus]
Blame the ticking
Right?
That metronomic tyrant
Those calendar chains
Rust on my ankles
[Chorus]
Screw time
That counterfeit tyrant in the sky
Sand in a glass
Pretending to be law
Just gravity dressed up as a judge
Screw time
It stretches fools into legends
Turns geniuses into clocks on a wall
I want a choice that doesn’t age
[Verse 2]
You draft constellations on receipts
Name them after minor Greek tragedies
He calls every star "big lamp"
Still laughs like spilled marbles
I know the postulate
Choose the sharper mind
The sharper life
Yet my heart is a slow parliament
Arguing in obsolete dialects
[Chorus]
Screw time
That counterfeit tyrant in the sky
Sand in a glass
Pretending to be law
Just gravity dressed up as a judge
Screw time
It stretches fools into legends
Turns geniuses into clocks on a wall
I want a choice that doesn’t age
[Bridge]
What if hours are hallucinations
Just herd animals we brand and count
What if forever is a room
Where both of you are already waiting
Your brilliance
His bewilderment
Two altars in the same cathedral
I pace the nave in circles
Praying for a clockless dawn
[Chorus]
Screw time
Let it crack
Let its numbers melt
Let the idiom and the idiot stay
Side by side on my unruled page
Screw time
If it’s a hoax
I’m free to choose
The labyrinth
The lucid
Or both
And live in the pause between beats
Style
smoky art-pop ballad at a heavyunhurried tempo; male vocalsclose-mic and intimate. cello bows longdissonant swells; floor toms and distant kick form a lumbering heartbeat. bagpipes slide in on pre-chorus and bloom in the last chorus as a droningbittersweet choir. sparse piano doubles the vocal rhythm on key phrases. final section strips back to voice and low celloending on a hanging note.slowcello
Prompt
2 lovers, one an imbecile, the other brilliant… the choice is clear but my mind wanders because of time. Screw time. It’s not real. Metaphors, obscure vocab, fat and slow tempo, cello, bagpipes, drums
