Come Up In Time

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
