Come up in time
Come up in time
The new day has a plan
Wait patiently for it to unfold
Cut the velvet chains that mischievously bind
Nembutol as a link
The ghost of Marilyn Monroe at the sound of crystal clinks
She’s still just as beautiful, she comes up in time
And then she’s gone in a blink
Come up in time
Come up in time
Have a way out
Don’t jump from the fire
Into the frying pan
And don’t linger too long
In the dream at night
Hanging, dangling carelessly
From the stem of a false promise
Don’t rid your face just in spite
We all must
Come up in time
To this realization let us be open
Sometimes crumbs beneath thumbs
What we can be but don’t necessarily have to be
We come up in time
A drowning man reaching up for the surface
He’ll come up in time
Time and time again
He found his oxygen, he found his purpose
And we can as well
So come up in time
Come up in time
What more can I preach to you
In the morning light I lazily reach for you
Direction and distance, I have no more resistance
I still come up in time
Come up in time
A new dawn at your insistence, lemon-lime divinity entwined
