Time wears a velvet suit stitched with invisible thread
Sneaks through the cracks in conversations left unsaid
Turns neon diners into ghosts beside the road
Turns “someday” into boxes nobody ever opened
I watched the clock hands fight like rival kings at war
One begging me to stay, one dragging me toward more
Every year another mirror learns my name
But the eyes behind it flicker wild and untamed
Pre-Chorus
We borrow moments like diamonds from the sea
Never really own them
Never really free
Chorus
Time is a cathedral burning slow in gold
Built from every story we were brave enough to hold
Some hearts rust like engines left out in the rain
Some become galaxies carved from joy and pain
And every second whispers:
“You were never meant to stay the same…”
Verse 2
The kid inside my chest still dances without shoes
Still paints the stars purple when the whole sky turns blue
Still believes broken things can learn to sing again
Still leaves the porch light on for wandering friends
I’ve seen rich men bankrupt in souls they couldn’t spend
Seen poor girls become empires with a notebook and a pen
Funny how the world keeps score with paper crowns
While eternity hides in tiny sacred sounds
A laugh in the kitchen
A dog asleep nearby
The silence after heartbreak
The first honest goodbye
Pre-Chorus
We measure life in numbers till the numbers disappear
But love keeps no receipts here
Chorus
Time is a cathedral burning slow in gold
Built from every story we were brave enough to hold
Some hearts rust like engines left out in the rain
Some become galaxies carved from joy and pain
And every second whispers:
“You were never meant to stay the same…”
Bridge
Tick
Tock
The universe breathes through old clocks
Dust turns to memory
Memory turns to myth
Myth turns to movement
And maybe heaven isn’t somewhere far away
Maybe it’s hidden in the people who choose to stay
Long enough
To build something beautiful before the lights go dim
Final Chorus
Time is a river dressed in royal purple light
Carrying our unfinished dreams into the night
We are temporary bodies with immortal sparks
Drawing constellations in the dark
So if tomorrow comes like thunder through the door
Let it find us building what we came here for
Because the hands keep turning
The stars keep humming
And the soul keeps becoming… ✨
